Configuring XenDesktop Agent Base and OData Configuration properties
The XenDesktop Agent Base Configuration and OData Configuration properties specify general settings the agent needs to connect to the monitored environment.
|
• |
Delivery Controller Hostname: The name of the machine hosting the XenDesktop site. |
|
• |
Collect Process Performance Information: Indicates if the XenDesktop Agent collects process metrics. |
|
• |
Collect Storefront Information: Indicates if the XenDesktop Agent collects StoreFront metrics. |
|
• |
Storefront Hostnames: A comma-separated list containing the names of StoreFront servers providing access to desktops and applications. This is optional. |
|
• |
Collect License Detail: Indicates if the XenDesktop Agent collects license-related information. |
|
• |
Is OData API using SSL: Indicates if the OData API, used by the XenDesktop Agent to access XenDesktop Controller's OData service, uses a secure internet connection. |
|
• |
OData API Port: The port number the OData API uses for internet connections. |
|
• |
Auto discover and Update OData API URL: Indicates if the OData API URL is automatically discovered and updated. |
Configuring XenDesktop and NetScaler Agent Data Collection Scheduler properties
The Data Collection Scheduled properties allow you to adjust the frequency at which the XenDesktop or NetScaler Agent collects data from the monitored system.
Figure 9. Data Collection Scheduled properties
|
• |
Collector Config: A list identifying the data collectors the agent uses. Each entry in the list includes the following columns, allowing you to adjust the data collection settings for each individual collector: |
|
• |
Collector Name: The name of the collector: XenDesktop Data Collection. |
|
• |
Default Collection Interval: The length of the default collection interval. |
|
• |
Time Unit: The time unit for measuring the default collection interval: milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, or days. |
|
• |
Fast-Mode Collection Interval: The length of the collection interval when the agent is running in fast mode. |
|
• |
Fast-Mode Time Unit: The time unit of the collection interval when the agent is running in fast mode. |
|
• |
Fast-Mode Max Count: The maximum count of entries when the agent is running in fast mode. |
Configuring XenDesktop Agent Process Configuration properties
The Process Configuration properties specify general settings the XenDesktop Agent needs to monitor session processes
Figure 10. Process Configuration properties
|
• |
topN: Instructs the XenDesktop Agents how many top processes to display on the XenDesktop Explorer Processes tab when a desktop session is selected. |
|
• |
Process Black List: A list identifying the processes that you do not want to monitor. Each entry in the list includes the following column: |
|
• |
Process Name: The name of the process that you want to exclude from monitoring. |
Configuring NetScaler Agent Configuration properties
The Configuration properties specify general settings the NetScaler Agent needs to connect to the NetScaler® gateway and to collect AppFlow® data.
Figure 11. Configuration properties
|
• |
Automatic configure AppFlow Settings: Indicates if the NetScaler Agent automatically configures AppFlow settings. |
|
• |
NetScaler Config: A list identifying the monitored NetScaler gateways. Each entry in the list contains the following column: |
|
• |
NetScaler’s Ip: The NetScaler IP address. |
|
• |
Username: The user name required to access NetScaler. |
|
• |
Password: The password of the user account required to access NetScaler. |
|
• |
Sending IP: The IP address from which NetScaler uses to send NetFlow packets. |
|
• |
fglAM IP: The IP address the Agent Manager uses to receive incoming data. |
