What is Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Site Monitoring?
uberAgent detects if it is running on a Citrix Delivery Controller (DDC) or a Citrix Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA). On DDCs, uberAgent automatically activates additional metrics like machine registration status, license usage, and published application inventory.
Enabling or Disabling Site Monitoring
Citrix site monitoring is enabled by default but is only activated on Citrix delivery controllers as explained above. To disable Citrix site monitoring disable the following metrics in the configuration:
CitrixDCDesktopGroup
CitrixDCCatalog
CitrixDCMachine
CitrixDCHypervisor
CitrixDCGeneralInformation
CitrixDCLicenseInformation
CitrixDCApplication
CitrixDCPublishedDesktops
Installation and Configuration
Install the uberAgent endpoint agent on at least one delivery controller per site. Installation on more than one controller is optional – it helps ensure uninterrupted data collection even when individual DDCs are unavailable.
The following script template can be used to grant the required permissions. Fill in the names of your domain and of your Citrix DDCs before running it in an elevated PowerShell console.
The following example script demonstrates how to grant the required permissions in an environment with two DDCs named CTX-DDC1 and CTX-DDC2 that are members of the CONTOSO domain. Note that you need to append a dollar sign ($) to the computername.
