Network - AVD Test
This test monitors the network connectivity from an external location to the chosen AVD session host. Administrators are alerted if the target session host is inaccessible over the network, or if high latencies are noticed when connecting with that host.
Target of the test : An Azure Virtual Desktop
Agent deploying the test : An external agent
Outputs of the test : One set of outputs for the AVD session host being monitored
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed |
Host |
The host for which the test is to be configured. |
Targets |
In the TARGETS text box, specify a comma-separated list of name:IP address pairs. While the name is just a display name, the IP address refers to the IP to be monitored. This specification will ensure that the test pings multiple IP addresses. For example - mysql:192.168.0.102,egwebsite:209.15.165.127 |
Packetsize |
Specify the size of packets used by the test in bytes. |
Packetcount |
The number of packets to be transmitted during the test. |
Timeout |
How long after transmission should a packet be deemed lost (in seconds). |
PacketInterval |
Represents the interval (in milliseconds) between successive packet transmissions during the execution of the network test for a specific target. |
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. |
Detailed Diagnosis |
To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Avg network delay |
Indicates the average delay between transmission of packet to a target and receipt of the response to the packet at the source. |
Secs |
An increase in the value of this measure is a cause for concern. Given below are some common reasons for such an anomaly:
|
Min network delay |
The minimum time between transmission of a packet and receipt of the response back. |
Secs |
A significant increase in the minimum round-trip time is often a sure sign of network congestion. |
Packet loss |
Indicates the percentage of packets lost during transmission from source to target and back. |
Percent |
An increase in the value of this measure is a cause for concern. Given below are some common reasons for such an anomaly:
|
Network availability |
Indicates whether the network connection is available or not |
Percent |
A value of 100 indicates that the session host is connected. The value 0 indicates that the chosen session host is not connected. Typically, the value 100 corresponds to a Packet loss of 0. The value 0 for this measure could mean that the target AVD session host is either down or too busy, or the interconnecting network is down. |
