ShareFile Status Test

If Citrix Content Collaboration users experience issues with the Citrix Content Collaboration service, then administrators must be able to rapidly and accurately identify the problem well-before the users complain. The ShareFile Status test helps administrators with this!

This test This test emulates a user accessing a web page on the target Citrix Content Collaboration account and reports the status of the Citrix Content Collaboration service in real-time, thus enabling administrators to instantly spot any performance degradation experienced by the service. The test additionally reveals if any service incidents are occurring, and elaborately describes such incidents vide detailed diagnostics. In addition, this test also reveals whether maintenance activity is scheduled for the Citrix Content Collaboration service or not.

Target of the test : Citrix Content Collaboration

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the monitored Citrix Content Collaboration account

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameters	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the Host listens. By default, this is NULL.
URL	By default, this is set to https://status.sharefile.com/ indicating that this test emulates a user access to the specified web page to determine the status of the Citrix Content Collaboration service.
Proxy Host, Proxy Port, Proxy User Name, Proxy Password and Confirm Password	These parameters are applicable only if the eG agent needs to communicate with the Citrix Content Collaboration portal via a Proxy server. In this case, provide the IP/host name and port number of the Proxy server that the eG agent should use in the Proxy Host and Proxy Port parameters, respectively. If the Proxy server requires authentication, then specify the credentials of a valid Proxy user against the Proxy User Name and Proxy Password text boxes. Confirm that password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box. If the Proxy server does not require authentication, then specify none against the Proxy User Name, Proxy Password, and Confirm Password text boxes. On the other hand, if the eG agent is not behind a Proxy server, then you need not disturb the default setting of any of the Proxy-related parameters. By default, these parameters are set to none.
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 enabled/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.
