Default Parameters for VmgWinNetTrafficTest

This is an internal test that monitors the incoming and outgoing traffic through each Windows guest of a virtual host.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the VmgWinNetTrafficTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• To obtain the ‘inside view’ of performance of the cloud -hosted Windows desktops - i.e., to measure the internal performance of the Windows virtual desktops - this test uses a light -weight eGVMAgent software deployed on each of the desktops. Accordingly, Inside View Using parameter is by default set to eGVMAgent (Windows).

• Report Powered OS flag is relevant only for those tests that are mapped to the Inside View of Desktops layer. If this flag is set to Yes (which is the default setting), then the ‘inside view’ tests will report measures for even those Windows virtual desktops that do not have any users logged in currently. Such desktops will be identified by their name and not by the username_on_virtualdesktopname. On the other hand, if this flag is set to No, then this test will not report measures for those Windows virtual desktops to which no users are logged in currently.

• Report By User flag is set to Yes by default. The value of this flag cannot be changed. This implies that the virtual machines in VDI environments will always be identified using the login name of the user. In other words, in VDI environments, this test will, by default, report measures for every username_on_virtualmachinename.

• Since this test runs for a ‘Cloud Desktops’ component, Is Cloud VMs flag is set to Yes by default.

• By default, Is Full Duplex flag is set to Yes, indicating that the incoming and outgoing data traffic is handled in full duplex mode. This means that the network interfaces are sending and receiving data at the same time. If the data traffic in your environment is handled in half-duplex mode, set this flag to No. This means that the network interfaces are not sending and receiving data at the same time; in essence, it is a one-way conversation. In this case, the test halves the value of the Incoming traffic and Outgoing traffic measures.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
