ICA/RDP Listeners Test
The listener component runs on the XenApp/Terminal/Parallels RAS and is responsible for listening for and accepting new ICA/RDP client connections, thereby allowing users to establish new sessions on the XenApp/Terminal/Parallels RAS . If this listener component is down, users may not be able to establish a connection with the XenApp server!
This is why, if a user to the Parallels RAS complains of the inaccessibility of the server, administrators should first check whether the listener component is up and running or not. The ICA/RDP Listeners test helps administrators perform this check. This test tracks the status of the default listener ports and reports whether any of the ports is down.
Target of the test : A Parallels RAS
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of outputs for every listener port configured
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Test period |
How often should the test be executed |
Host |
The host for which the test is to be configured |
Port |
Refers to the port used by the Terminal server |
Apps |
Specify all here if you want to monitor all the applications that are executing on this server. To monitor only those applications that have been published on this server for use by clients, specify Published in this text box. |
Session IDs |
The default listener ports - 65536,65537,65538 – will be displayed here by default. You can override this default specification by adding more ports or by removing one/more existing ports. |
Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Is listener down? |
Indicates whether/not this listener port is down. |
|
This measure reports the value Yes if the listener port is down and No if the port is up and running. The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are as follows:
Note: By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values to indicate the status of a listener port. However, the graph of this measure will represent the same using the numeric equivalents only. |
