Delivery Controller Communications Test

XML communications between StoreFront servers and Delivery Controllers involve a majority of the processing time. This test tracks the number of calls and latency during communication between a Citrix StoreFront server and the different Citrix Delivery Controllers it communicates with.

Target of the test : Citrix StoreFront Server

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Citrix Delivery Controller to which the target Citrix Storefront server communicates with.

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 port number at which the specified host listens to. By default, this is 443.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Network traffic calls	Indicates the calls made from the Citrix StoreFront server to this Citrix Delivery Controller.	Calls/sec	Comparing the calls across Delivery Controllers helps determine which Citrix Delivery Controller is being contacted the most by the Cirix StoreFront server. The Citrix Storefront server will only fetch the status for the application from the Citrix Delivery Controller that the application belongs.
Network traffic error calls	Indicates the rate at which the errors were detected during the calls made from the Citrix StoreFront server to this Citrix Delivery Controller.	Calls/sec
