Horizon RDS Listeners Test

The listener component runs on the Omnissa Horizon RDS server and is responsible for listening for and accepting new client connections. If this listener component is down, users may not be able to access applications on the RDS hosts!

This is why, if a user complains of the inaccessibility of an application, administrators should first check whether the RDS listener component is up and running or not. The Horizon RDS Listeners test helps administrators perform this check. This test tracks the status of the default listener ports and reports whether any of the ports is down.

Target of the test : An Omnissa Horizon RDS server

Agent deploying the test : An external agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every port on the target Omnissa Horizon RDS Server being monitored.

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	Refers to the port used by the Omnissa Horizon RDS server.
Session IDs	The default listener ports - 65536,65537,65538 – will be displayed here by default. You can override this default specification by adding more ports or by removing one/more existing ports.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Is listener down?	Indicates whether/not this listener port is down.		This measure reports the value Yes if the listener port is down and No if the port is up and running. The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are as follows: Measure Value Numeric Value Yes 0 No 1 Note: By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values to indicate the status of a listener port. However, the graph of this measure will represent the same using the numeric equivalents only.
