Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port number at which the specified Host listens to.
SudoPath	This test executes certain privileged VDA (Virtual Desktop Access) commands to pull out the desired metrics from the broker. To enable the test to run these commands, you first need to install a sudo package on the broker host. The procedure for installing this package is detailed in Pre-requisites for Monitoring the Oracle VDI Broker in an Agent-based Manner. Once the package is installed, you need to specify the full path to the install directory of the sudo package in the SudoPath text box.
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 desktops	Indicates the total number of desktops currently managed by the broker.	Number
Running desktops	Indicates the number of desktops that are currently running.	Number	Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the names of the running desktops and the user assigned to each.
Poweredoff desktops	Indicates the number of desktops that are powered off currently.	Number	Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the names of the powered-off desktops and the user assigned to each.
Suspended desktops	Indicates the number of desktops that are currently suspended.	Number
Unknown desktops	Indicates the number of desktops that are currently unknown.	Number	If the broker is unable to detect the state of a desktop, such a desktop is said to be of an 'Unknown' state.
Desktops with users not assigned	Indicates the number of desktops that have not been assigned to any users currently.	Number	Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the names of the desktops that are not assigned to any user.
Used desktops	Indicates the number of desktops that are currently being used by users.	Number
Idle desktops	Indicates the number of desktops that are currently unused.	Number	A desktop is in the 'Idle' state whenever it is assigned and the user is not using it; for instance, when the desktop is assigned and the user has not logged in yet or when the desktop is assigned and the user just logged out. A desktop is recycled after it remains in the idle state for a configurable amount of time.
Error desktops	Indicates the number of desktops with errors currently.	Number	Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0. Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the names of the desktops with errors and the user assigned to each.
Reserved desktops	Indicates the current number of reserved desktops.	Number	A desktop is Reserved when it is being worked on by the Oracle VDI Core. This desktop state usually occurs when the desktop is the source of a manual copy operation or the desktop is recycled. The desktop will become available after leaving the Reserved state.
