Default Parameters for CtxCdSiteTest

This test promptly alerts administrators if it finds the following anomalies in a site:

  • License is in grace period;

  • DNS resolution is disabled;

  • Trust requests are not sent to the XML service;

  • The site is overloaded with sessions.

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

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

  • When configuring the Citrix Cloud service, you should have created an API client on the cloud, so that any external program can communicate with the cloud. This API client is tied to a customer ID. The Citrix Cloud API requires this customer ID, when calling REST APIs. To get the customer ID for the API client that you have created in your environment, do the following:

    • Sign in to the Citrix Cloud administrator console.

    • Click the “hamburger menu” in the upper left corner of the console.

    • Select “Identity and Access Management” from the drop-down menu. An API Access page will open in the right panel. Look for the phrase , “use <customerID> as the customer parameter” in the right panel. The <customerID> displayed within that phrase is the customer ID you need to configure the eG tests with.

    Specify the determined customer ID in the CUSTOMER ID text box.

  • When creating the API client on the cloud, you will be provided with an ID and a Secret for your client. Downloading this information saves a file named secureclient.csv. The eG agent uses the ID and Secret stored in this file to connect to the Citrix Cloud API. This is why, you will have to configure this test with the full path to the secureclient.csv in the SECURE CLIENT FILE PATH text box.

  • 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.
