eG Monitoring

Measures reported by CtxFASServerTest After you install the Citrix Federated Authentication Service on a server, you must specify the full DNS addresses of the FAS servers in Group Policy. At any later point in time, an administrator can modify the details of FAS servers configured via Group Policy, using the Set-FasServer powershell cmdlet. In particular, the administrator can enable/disable maintenance mode for a FAS server, so that the server rejects new connections (callers will fail over to different FAS servers). To know which FAS servers configured via Group Policy have maintenance mode enabled, use the CtxFASServerTest test. This test discovers the FAS servers that have been configured via Group Policy and reports whether/not the maintenance mode has been enabled on every FAS server. Output of the Test: One set of the results for each FAS server configured via Group Policy The measures made by this test are as follows:
Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation
--- | --- | --- | ---
Is_maintenance | Indicates whether/not maintenance mode is enabled on this FAS server. |  | If maintenance mode is enabled on a FAS server, then this measure will report the value Yes. If the maintenance mode is disabled, then this measure will report the value No. The numeric values that correspond to the aforesaid measure values are as follows:
Measure Value | Numeric Value
Yes | 1
No | 0
Note: By default, this measure will report the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not maintenance mode is enabled. However, in the graph of this measure, the same will be indicated using the numeric equivalents only. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the FAS version and the index number that the Group Policy bobject has added to the FAS server.
