Disk Space - OS Test

This test monitors the space usage of every disk partition on a citrix virtual desktops.

Target of the test : A Citrix Desktop Group

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every combination of user_on_citrix_virtual_desktop:disk_partition

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The nick name of the Citrix Desktop Group component for which this test is to be configured.
Port	Refers to the port at which the specified host listens to. By default, this is NULL.
Inside View Using	To obtain the 'inside view' of performance of the desktops - i.e., to measure the internal performance of the cloud-based citrix virtual desktops - this test uses a light-weight eG VM Agent software deployed on each of the desktops. Accordingly, this parameter is by default set to eG VM Agent.
Report Powered OS	If this flag is set to Yes (which is the default setting), then the 'inside view' tests will report measures for even those desktops that do not have any users logged in currently. Such desktops will be identified by their name and not by the username_on_desktopname. On the other hand, if this flag is set to No, then this test will not report measures for those desktops to which no users are logged in currently.
Report By User	This flag is set to Yes by default. The value of this flag cannot be changed. This implies that the virtual machines in VDI environments will always be identified using the login name of the user. In other words, in VDI environments, this test will, by default, report measures for every username_on_virtualmachinename.
Is Cloud VMs	Since this test runs for 'Citrix Desktop Group' component which is a cloud-hosted desktop group, this flag is set to Yes by default.
Exclude	By default, this test excludes a few disk partitions from monitoring. These include disks storing snapshots, user's runtime information, boot strap files, and container daemons. If you want, you can alter this default list by appending more partitions to it separated by commas, or by removing a few existing partitions from it. Wild card patterns are also supported.
DD Frequency	Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. For instance, if you set to 1:1, it means that detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem.
Detailed Diagnosis	To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG suite 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
Total capacity	Indicates the total capacity of a disk partition.	MB
Used space	Indicates the amount of space used in a disk partition.	MB
Free space	Indicates the current free space available for each disk partition of a system.	MB
Percent usage	Indicates the percentage of space usage on each disk partition of a system.	Percent	A value close to 100% can indicate a potential problem situation where applications executing on the guest may not be able to write data to the disk partition(s) with very high usage.
