Introduction
This functionality is available for administrators. It displays diagnostic information about status, alerts, and warnings of the Flexxible|SUITE infrastructure services and components.
When a component or service is in an incorrect status, Flexxible|SUITE will display a message at the top of the VCC Roles Overview page. This message contains certain information and the related error code.
If an error exists, the users with administrator roles will see an alert in the jobs view. In addition, the health checker will send the corresponding alerts. Please, refer to the health checker article for more information.
On the other hand, this view could show multiple alerts received when the threads that monitor the proper functioning of the web fronts have no activity or have no users browsing the SUITE.
To the proper functioning of this feature, you must configure the setting FlexxibleSUITEURL.
This parameter contains as value the URL to access the SUITE, from the nodes where the web is installed (http://sdweb01.sd.local/vdimanager).
If this value is null, empty or does not exist, the HealthChecker tries to access the web servers, retrieve the bindings of the site where the SUITE is installed and tries to access.
VCC Roles Overview
You can find this feature in the SUITE Management section.
If a component contains an error or warning, the error will be displayed in red and the warnings in yellow.
All the components (web, threads, services, files...) are regenerated when the service is restarted so that if any component is removed, it will be automatically recreated again.
Remember: For this screen to work correctly, it is essential that the VDIClientService is installed in the infra VMs.
From version 4.7 onwards, the VCC Roles Overview includes the following features:
Stop VDI OS Manager: This feature allows stop service to all non-administrator users of VDI Manager. You must confirm before applying this action.
You can set an info message to be displayed at the top of the page when you access the SUITE.
Test config mail: Shows a form that displays the SMTP configuration. You can send a test mail setting to the recipient.
If the test is successful, the result will show the following message:
To configure the SMTP server, please refer Post-Deployment tasks article.
Sync infrastructure: Generates a job that updates the available infrastructure on the SUITE. You must confirm before launching this job.
This feature in the previous version is available on the VDI Appliances view.
