Disk Space - Endpoint Test

This test monitors the space usage of every disk partition on a Dell Wyse thin client.

Target of the test : Dell Wyse Client Group

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every combination of Dell Wyse thin client:disk_partition

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter Description

Test Period

How often should the test be executed.

Host

The nick name of the Dell Wyse Client 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 Dell Wyse thin clients - i.e., to measure the internal performance of the Dell Wyse thin clients - this test uses a light-weight VM Agent software deployed on each of the Dell Wyse thin clients. The VM Agents collect performance metrics from the Dell Wyse thin clients and communicate the metrics to the eG remote agent using TCP protocol. Accordingly, by default, this parameter is set to eG VM Agent.

Report By User

Since this test runs for an 'Dell Wyse Client Group' component, this flag is set to No by default.

Report Powered OS

Since this test runs for an 'Dell Wyse Client Group' component, this flag is set to Yes by default.

Is Cloud VMs

Since this test runs for an 'Dell Wyse Client Group' component, this flag is set to Yes by default.

Exclude

Against this parameter, you can provide a comma-separated list of disk partitions that you want to exclude from the scope of monitoring. For example, you can use this parameter to exclude temporary partitions that the target Dell Wyse thin client creates from monitoring.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation

Total capacity

Indicates the total capacity of this disk partition.

MB

 

Used space

Indicates the amount of space used in this disk partition.

MB

 

Free space

Indicates the current free space available for this disk partition.

MB

 

Percent usage

Indicates the percentage of space usage on this disk partition.

Percent

A value close to 100% can indicate a potential problem situation where applications may not be able to write data to the disk partition(s) with very high usage.
