Wyse Endpoints Test

Thin clients should be mandatorily registered with Wyse Management Suite (WMS). The reason for registration is that it helps the administrators to apply specific configurations, policies, and settings to the thin client. Once registered, thin clients can receive automated updates and patches directly through WMS. This helps ensure that all thin clients are running the latest firmware and software, which can improve security and functionality and also ensures that they are compliant with WMS.

Whenever users complaint of inaccessibility of their thin clients, administrators need to promptly determine the reason for the same - is it because the thin clients are non-compliant? is it because they are removed? or is it because Wyse Managemnet Suite (WMS) is inaccessible? The Wyse Enpoints test provides administrators with this information.

This test tracks the status of each thin client managed by the target WMS and reports the number of thin clients that were compliant/non-compliant. Using this test, thin clients that were added/removed can also be quickly identified. The detailed diagnosis of this test pinpoints the exact names of the thin clients that were non-compliant.

Target of the test : Wyse Management Suite

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 to which the specified host listens.
Wyse User Name	The user name required to access Wyse Management Suite portal.
Wyse Password	The password of the Wyse Management Suite portal.
SSL	By default, the Wyse Management Suite is SSL-enabled. Accordingly, the SSL flag is set to Yes by default. This indicates that the eG agent will communicate with the Wyse Management Suite via HTTPS by default.
ProxyHost and ProxyPort	In some environments, all communication with the Wyse Management Suite be routed through a proxy server. In such environments, you should make sure that the eG agent connects to the Wyse Management Suite via the proxy server and collects metrics. To enable metrics collection via a proxy, specify the IP address of the proxy server and the port at which the server listens against the ProxyHost and ProxyPort parameters. By default, these parameters are set to none, indicating that the eG agent is not configured to communicate via a proxy, by default.
ProxyUsername, ProxyPassword, Confirm Password	If the proxy server requires authentication, then, specify a valid proxy user name and password in the Proxy Username and Proxy Password parameters, respectively. Then, confirm the password by retyping it in the Confirm Password text box. If no proxy server is used, or if the proxy server used does not require authentication, then the default setting - none - of these parameters, need not be changed.
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: 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
Total devices	Indicates the total number of thin clients managed by WMS.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of the thin client, the IP address of the thin client, OS type, Platform Type, OS Version, Serial number of thin client, recent user who accessed the thin client, group to which the thin client belongs to and the recent Check-in time for the thin client.
Compliant devices	Indicates the number of thin clients that are compliant to policies set in WMS.	Number
Non compliant devices	Indicates the number of thin clients that are non-compliant to policies set in WMS.	Number	A very high value of this measure impacts security and operational efficiency of the IT infrastructure that results in vulnerabilities, unauthorized access and inconsistent user experience. The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of the thin client, the IP address of the thin client, OS type, Platform Type, OS Version, Serial number of thin client, recent user who accessed the thin client, group to which the thin client belongs to and the recent Check-in time for the thin client.
Added devices	Indicates the number of thin clients that were added to WMS during the last measurement period.	Number
Removed devices	Indicates the number of thin clients that were removed from WMS during the last measurement period.	Number
