URL Connectivity - AVD Test

In order to deploy Azure Virtual Desktops in an AVD environment and for users to connect to those AVDs, administrators must allow specific FQDNs and endpoints. On the other hand, users also need to be able to connect to certain FQDNs and endpoints to access their Azure Virtual Desktop resources. Sometimes, these FQDNs and endpoints could be blocked by a firewall or a proxy service in the target AVD environment. When this happens, users may not be able to access their Azure Virtual Desktops. Therefore, it is necessary for the administrators to continuously monitor the accessibility of the FQDNs and endpoints. The URL Connectivity - AVD test helps in this regard!

Using this test, administrators can identify the number of URLs of the FQDNs and endpoints that are accessible and those that are not accessible. Further, this test also reports the status of the accessibility check performed on the FQDNs and endpoints. The detailed diagnostics reveals the exact URLs that are accessible and not accessible.

Target of the test : Azure Virtual Desktop

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the chosen Session Host

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameters	Description
Test period	This indicates how often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The default port is NULL.
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: The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Accessible URLs	Indicates the number of URLs that are accessible.	Number	The detailed diagnosis lists the name of the URLs that are accessible.
Not accessible URLs	Indicates the number of URLs that are not accessible.	Number	The detailed diagnosis lists the name of the URLs that are not accessible.
URLs accessible health check status	Indicates the current status of the URL accessibility health check.		The measure values that this test can report and their corresponding numeric values are listed in the table below: Note: By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned values to indicate the current status of the URL accessibility health check. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric equivalents i.e., 0 or 100.
