Composer Log Test

To enable administrators to quickly capture errors encountered by the Omnissa Horizon View Composer, administrators can use the Composer Log test. This test scans the vmware-viewcomposer.log file for errors and reports the number of errors logged in that log file. The detailed diagnostics of the test describe the errors and also reveal when the errors were captured and logged, so as to ease troubleshooting and hasten problem resolution.

Target of the test : Omnissa Horizon View Composer

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

utputs of the test : One set of results for the composer being monitored

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameters	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port on which the Host listens.
Log File Path	This test reports metrics by parsing a vmware-viewcomposer.log file that is by default created in the <VIEW_COMPOSER_INSTALL_DIR>\Logs folder on the target server. Since this test, by default, looks for the vmware-viewcomposer.log file in the aforesaid directory only, the log file path parameter is set to none by default. However, if you have configured this log file to be created in a different directory in your environment, then you will have to explicitly specify the full path to this directory in the log file path text box. For instance, your path specification can be: C:\LogFiles\CompsrLog
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 the 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 enabled/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled: The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Number of fatals	Indicates the number of fatal errors that were logged in the log file during the last measurement period.	Number	Errors with high severity levels are typically categorized as fatal. These errors could stall the operations of the Omnissa Horizon View Composer server. This is why, the value 0 is desired for this measure. In the event that this measure reports a non-zero value, you can use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to view what fatal errors occurred and when.
Number of errors	Indicates the number of errors, which are neither fatal errors nor exceptions, that were logged in the log file during the last measurement period.	Number	Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero. A non-zero value is therefore a cause for concern. The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals what errors occurred and when.
