Measures reported by VmgWinSvcStatusTest
In some virtual environments, administrators may want to mandate the availability of a set of Windows services on all Windows virtual desktops. In such environments, to ensure uninterrupted access to the mandatory services, administrators need to check the availability of the services on every virtual desktop. To cater to this need, this test allows administrators to configure only the mandatory services of their choice for monitoring. This way, administrators can closely monitor the availability of the services of their interest and instantly know the number of services that are not available/running (if available) on the Windows virtual desktop.
This test does not only reveal the availability of services, that have been configured for monitoring, on each virtual desktop but also reports the count of available services based on their startup types. This helps administrators to know if the automatic services have started and are running on the virtual desktop as configured. If not, administrators can rapidly initiate the remedial measures to start the services quickly before it impacts overall performance of the virtual desktop and the user experience on the virtual desktop. Furthermore, administrators can use the detailed diagnosis provided by this test to know the details of the configured services that are present and inactive on each Windows virtual desktop.
Ouputs of the Test: One set of results will be reported for every Windows virtual desktop on all VDI servers.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Svcs_configured |
Indicates the total number of services that have been configured for monitoring against the SERVICES parameter. |
Number |
|
| Svcs_presents |
Indicates how many services that have been configured for monitoring are actually present on this Windows virtual desktop. |
Number |
|
| Svcs_in_atuo |
Indicates how many services, with startup type as automatic, that have been configured for monitoring are actually present on this virtual desktop. |
Number |
The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the services (with startup type as automatic) that are currently present on the virtual desktop. |
| Svcs_auto_not_running |
Indicates how many services, with startup type as automatic, that have been configured for monitoring are not running on this Windows virtual desktop. |
Number |
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to determine which services (with startup type as automatic) are not currently running on the virtual desktop. |
| Svcs_in_manual |
Indicates how many services, with startup type as manual, that have been configured for monitoring are actually present on this Windows virtual desktop. |
Number |
The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the services (with startup type as manual) that are currently present on the virtual desktop. |
| Svcs_auto_not_running |
Indicates how many services, with startup type as manual, that have been configured for monitoring are not running on this Windows virtual desktop. |
Number |
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to determine which services (with startup type as manual) are not currently running on the virtual desktop. |
| Svcs_not_running |
Indicates the total number of Windows services, that have been configured for monitoring, are not currently running on this Windows virtual desktop. |
Number |
This measure is the sum of Automatic services not running and Manual services not running measures. |
