Horizon UAG Sessions Test
By tracking the user activity on the gateway appliance, administrators will be able to determine the session load on the appliance at any given point in time. Also, when monitoring user sessions, administrators may be able to capture unexpected failures or abrupt session terminations and investigate the reason for the same. Such useful session-based insights are provided by the Horizon UAG Sessions test.
This test tracks user sessions to the gateway appliance and discovers the count of different type of sessions handled by the appliance, in terms of the protocol used - eg., PCoIP sessions, RDP sessions, Blast sessions etc. The test also reports the sessions that were terminated and those sessions that failed. In addition, this test also reveals the unique users and unique clients who have initiated the sessions through the gateway appliance. The detailed diagnostics of this test reveals in-depth insights into the sessions initiated by the user. With the help of this test, administrators can quickly determine which type of sessions were frequently initiated by the users - is it the PCoIP sessions? or Blast session? or RDP session? or Desktop sessions? or Application sessions?
Target of the test : A Horizon Unified Access Gateway
Agent deploying the test: A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Horizon Unified Access Gateway being monitored.
| 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 |
Refers to the port used by the Horizon Unified Access Gateway appliance. By default, this is 9443. |
|
SSL |
By default, the appliance is SSL-enabled. This is why, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. In case the appliance is not SSL-enabled, then set this flag to No. |
|
Install DIR |
Specify the full path to the install directory of the VMware Horizon Unified Access Gateway appliance. |
|
High Security |
In highly secure environments, eG Enterprise could not perform agentless monitoring on a Linux host using SSH. To enable agentless monitoring of the Linux hosts in such environments, by default, the HIGH SECURITY flag is set to Yes. This indicates that eG Enterprise will connect to the target Linux host in a more secure way and collect performance metrics. |
|
DD Frequency |
Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD frequency. |
|
Detailed Diagnosis |
To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise 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:
