HDX Port Connection Test
This test primarily checks whether the critical TCP ports on the Citrix server are up/down, and reports the responsiveness of each configured port to client requests. For a Citrix server however, these checks might not be adequate at all times; you could have a case where the Citrix server port is up but the server is still not responding. When a connection is made to the Citrix server, it will typically send a message "ICA" to the client. This check connects to the port and then validates the response from the citrix server to see if the ICA stream is being received by the client. Hence, this test additionally reports the ICA connection availability.
Target of the test : A Citrix server
Agent deploying the testn : An external agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for every configured port name or port number

Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
TCP connection availability: |
Whether the TCP connection is available or not. |
Percent |
An availability problem can be caused by different factors – e.g., the server process may not be up, a network problem may exist, or there could be a configuration problem with the DNS server. |
Response time: |
Time taken (in seconds) by the server to respond to a request. |
Secs |
An increase in response time can be caused by several factors such as a server bottleneck, a configuration problem with the DNS server, a network problem, etc. |
ICA connection availability: |
Indicates whether ICA connection is available or not. |
Percent |
While the value 100 for this measure indicates that the ICA stream is being received by the client, the value 0 indicates that it is not. |
