Default Parameters for CtxXcXAEuemTest

With the CtxXcXAEuemTest test, administrators can receive deep visibility into the XenApp end of the Citrix logon process. This test takes an administrator into the XenApp server, reveals the users who are currently logged on to the server, and accurately reports the average time it took for the sessions of each user to start inside the server. This way, administrators can rapidly identify which user’s sessions are experiencing undue start-up delays. In addition, the test also provides a break-up of the session start-up duration. This way, the test precisely pinpoints where the delay occurred - – when user credentials were obtained? when credentials were validated? during profile loading? during login script execution? when mapping drives or creating printers?

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the CtxXcXAEuemTest.

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • By default, the REPORT USING MANAGERTIME flag is set to Yes. This indicates that the user login time displayed in the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS page for this test and in the Thin Client reports will be based on the eG manager's time zone by default. Set this flag to No if you want the login times displayed in the DETAILED DIAGNOSIS page for this test and in the Thin Client reports to be based on the Citrix server's local time.

  • The REPORT BY DOMAIN NAME flag is set to Yes by default. This implies that by default, the detailed diagnosis of this test will display the domainname\username of each user session that logged out. This default setting ensures that administrators are able to quickly determine the domains to which the users who logged out belonged. You can set this flag to No if you want detailed diagnosis to display only the username of the users who logged out.

  • The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
