Apps Test
This test auto-discovers the applications configured on the AppController and reports the number of successful and failed launches per application.
For this test to run and report metrics, the AppController should be configured to create a Syslog file in a remote Syslog server, where the details and status of all user interactions with the AppController will be logged. To know how to configure the Syslog server where the AppController will be creating this file, Configuring the Syslog server.
Target of the test : Citrix AppController
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results each application configured on the Citrix AppController being monitored.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed. |
Host |
The IP address of the host for which the test is being configured. |
Port |
The port at which the host listens. By default, this is NULL. |
Log File Path |
This test reports metrics by parsing a Syslog file. Specify the full path to the Syslog file here. To know how to configure the Syslog server where the AppController will be creating this file, Configuring the Syslog server. |
Username and Password |
To pull out metrics, this test needs to login to the AppController’s management console as a user with Administrator rights to AppController. For this purpose, you need to configure this test with the Username and Password of a user with Administrator rights to the AppController. |
SSL |
Indicate whether/not AppController is SSL-enabled. By default, this flag is set to Yes. |
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 |
---|---|---|---|
Number of successful application launches |
Indicates the number of times this application was launched successfully during the last measurement period. |
Number |
Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to view the names of the users who successfully launched the application, when they launched, and the client/receiver each user used. |
Number of failed application launches |
Indicates the number of times this application was launched unsuccessfully during the last measurement period. |
Number |
Compare the value of this measure acros applications to know which application failed very often. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to view the names of the users for whom application launches failed, when they attempted to launch, and the client/receiver that was used for the attempt. |
