uberAgent 6.1 Preview: Citrix Cloud Monitoring
While we’re finalizing version 6.1 of our user experience monitoring & endpoint security analytics products uberAgent UXM and uberAgent ESA, let’s take a look at yet another cool new feature: Citrix Cloud monitoring.
What Is Citrix Cloud Monitoring?
Citrix Cloud monitoring is uberAgent’s new capability to monitor the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (CVAD) control plane in Citrix Cloud. This is an exciting feature for customers who are not hosting delivery controllers on-premises but leveraging Citrix Cloud instead.
How to Use Citrix Cloud Monitoring?
The configuration could not be simpler. You only need to designate which uberAgent endpoints should collect Citrix Cloud data. You can use any Windows machine with uberAgent installed. For purposes of redundancy, we recommend configuring two machines to collect Citrix Cloud data. This way one machine’s downtime won’t affect data collection. Please see the Citrix Cloud monitoring documentation for details.
What About On-Premises CVAD Site Monitoring?
uberAgent has had the ability to collect monitoring data from on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (CVAD) delivery controllers for a long time. See the Citrix site monitoring documentation for details.
Which Metrics Are Collected by Citrix Cloud Monitoring?
Citrix Cloud monitoring collects mostly the same rich set of metrics as on-premises Citrix site monitoring (see the metrics documentation for details):
- Published applications
- Desktops
- Desktop groups
- Machines
- Machine Catalogs
