XM Cluster Tasks Test

When a Endpoint Management cluster is healthy, the tasks executed on the Endpoint Management cluster will be completed on a swift pace thus providing an optimal cluster performance! Whenever there is a lag in the performance of the cluster, administrators may start wondering the real reason behind such a lag – is it due to too many pending tasks? or it is due to the time duration that had elapsed since the task was last updated? The XM Cluster Tasks test helps in answering these questions!

This test monitors the tasks that are executing on each Endpoint Management cluster and reports the current status of the tasks and the time that elapsed since the last update of the tasks.

This test is disabled by default. To enable the test, follow the Agents -> Tests -> Enable/Disable menu sequence in the eG administrative interface, pick Citrix Endpoint Management as the Component type, select Performance as the Test type, choose this test from the list of disabled tests list, and click on the < button.
