XenApp Monitor
Monitoring your Citrix XenApp servers
Citrix® environments have grown in popularity as cost-effective, efficient modes of accessing a variety of heterogeneous applications on-demand. In order to be an effective alternative for desktop applications, Citrix environments must deliver the same quality of service that users have come to expect from local applications.
Typically, Citrix server farms include multiple tiers of software. A front-end web interface (Nfuse) server is used to support web-based accesses to the server farm. Active directory servers handle user authentication and rights association, while user profiles are loaded from profile servers. The authenticated requests are passed to the Citrix XenApp (Presentation) servers that host a number of applications. In turn, the applications may use backend databases, printers, etc., for different functionalities.
A Citrix XenApp monitoring solution provides the following benefits:
- Integrated monitoring of Citrix and other IT infrastructure components (e.g., SQL/Oracle databases, network printers, domain controllers, authentication servers, network routers, etc.)
- 100% web-based architecture with personalized user views
- Real-time external monitoring of Citrix server availability and response time
- Automatic correlation with internal metrics of server usage and process availability
- Integrated monitoring of all aspects of a Citrix farm including license usage, authentication, database availability, network performance, etc.
- Automatic baselining of usage metrics to learn the norms of the infrastructure
- Extensive performance reporting and service level analysis
- Remote control over the web
The eG Citrix Monitor continuously monitors every layer of every tier of your Citrix infrastructure, computes automatically what the norms are in your infrastructure (based on time of day history), and proactively alerts you to any abnormality. This way, you will always be alerted before users notice and complain, giving you valuable minutes to fix the problem before users notice that something is wrong!
