Common Agent Container Status Test

The main Oracle VDI Core service runs as a module within the Common Agent Container (Cacao). If you encounter any issues while working with the Oracle VDI broker, you should first check the status of Cacao as well as the status of the Oracle VDI Core service module.

This test monitors the Cacao and reports its current status.

Target of the test : An Oracle VDI Broker

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Oracle VDI broker being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port number at which the specified Host listens to.
SudoPath	This test executes certain privileged VDA (Virtual Desktop Access) commands to pull out the desired metrics from the broker. To enable the test to run these commands, you first need to install a sudo package on the broker host. The procedure for installing this package is detailed in Pre-requisites for Monitoring the Oracle VDI Broker in an Agent-based Manner. Once the package is installed, you need to specify the full path to the install directory of the sudo package in the SudoPath text box.
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: 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

Agent status

Indicates whether the Cacao is currently running or not.

If the Cacao is running, then, then this measure will report the value Operational. If the Cacao is not running, then this measure will report the value Not Operational.

The table below lists the numeric values that correspond to each of the states mentioned above:

State	Numeric Value
Operational	100
Not Operational	0

Note:

Typically, this measure will report the States indicated in the table above as its values. However, in the graph of this measure, the operational state of the Cacao will be represented using the numeric equivalents only - i.e., 0 and 100.

Number of processes

Indicates the number of processes currently running for the Cacao.

Number

To know which processes are currently running for the cacao, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure.

Memory utilization

Indicates the percentage of memory utilized by the Cacao.

Percent

Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A very high value indicates that too much memory is being consumed by the Cacao processes.

CPU utilization

Indicates the percentage of CPU consumed by the Cacao.

Percent

Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A very high value indicates that too much CPU is being consumed by the Cacao processes.
