Summary

Argent Advanced Technology has been introduced a Rule Category ‘XenApp Performance Monitoring Rules’ with six new performance Rule subcategories in Argent for XenApp to monitor the performance of XenApp 6.5 servers

Subcategories:

Citrix CPU Utilization Management User Rules

Citrix CPU Utilization Management User Rules comprises of four categories:

CPU Entitlement Rules

This Rule monitors the percentage of CPU resource that makes available to a user at a given time by Citrix CPU Utilization Management

CPU Shares Rules

This Rule monitors the proportion of CPU resource assigned to a user

CPU Usage Rules

This Rule monitors the percentage of CPU resource consumed by a user at a given time (averaged over a few seconds)

Long-term CPU Usage Rules

This Rule monitors the percentage of CPU resource consumed by a user (averaged over a longer period than the CPU Usage counter)

Example:

‘CPU Entitlement Rules’ monitors the percentage of CPU resource that makes available to a user at a given time by Citrix CPU Utilization Management

Rule ‘RULE_CPU_ENTITLE_AT_LIMIT’ is broken, if ‘\Citrix CPU Utilization Mgmt User\CPU Entitlement’ counter in XenApp 6.5 server has value greater than 40

Citrix IMA Networking Rules

Citrix IMA Networking Rules comprises of three categories:

Bytes Received Per Second Rules

This Rule monitors the inbound bytes per second

Bytes Sent Per Second Rules

This Rule monitors the outbound bytes per second

Network Connections Rules

This Rule monitors the number of active IMA network connections to other IMA servers

Citrix Licensing Rules

Citrix Licensing Rules comprises of seven categories:

Average License Check-In Response Time Rules

This Rule monitors the average license check-in response time in milliseconds

Average License Check-Out Response Time Rules

This Rule monitors the average license check-out response time in milliseconds

Last Recorded License Check-In Response Time Rules

This Rule monitors the last recorded license check-in response time in milliseconds

Last Recorded License Check-Out Response Time Rules

This Rule monitors the last recorded license check-Out response time in milliseconds

License Server Connection Failure Rules

This Rule monitors the number of minutes that the XenApp server has been disconnected from the License Server

Maximum License Check-In Response Time Rules

This Rule monitors the maximum license check-in response time in milliseconds

Maximum License Check-Out Response Time Rules

This Rule monitors the maximum license check-out response time in milliseconds

Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server Rules



Application Resolution Time Rules

This Rule monitors the time taken for the resolution of an application in milliseconds

Application Resolutions Per Second Rules

This Rule monitors the number of resolutions completed per second

Cumulative Server Load Rules

This Rule monitors the processor utilization and connected XenApp user session loads of the host server

Data Store Connection Failure Rules

This Rule monitors the number of minutes that the XenApp server has been disconnected from the data store

Data Store Bytes Read Rules

This Rule monitors the number of bytes read from the data store

Data Store Bytes Read Per Second Rules

This Rule monitors the number of bytes of data store data read per second

Data Store Bytes Written Per Second Rules

This Rule monitors the number of bytes of data store data written per second

Data Store Reads Rules

This Rule monitors the number of times data was read from the data store

Data Store Reads Per Second Rules

This Rule monitors the number of times data was read from the data store per second

ICA Session Rules

ICA Session Rules comprises of 27 categories:

Input Audio Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when playing sound in an ICA session

Input Clipboard Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when performing clipboard operations such as cut and paste between the ICA session and the local window

Input COM Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when sending data to the client COM port

Input Control Channel Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when executing LongCommandLine parameters of a published application

Input Drive Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when performing file operations between the client and server drives during an ICA session

Input Font Data Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when initiating font changes within a SpeedScreen-enabled ICA session

Input Licensing Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used to negotiate licensing during the session establishment phase. Often, no data for this counter is available, as this negotiation takes place before logon

Input Printer Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when printing to a client printer through a client that has print spooler support enabled

Input Seamless Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used for published applications that are not embedded in a session window

Input Session Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used from client to server for a session

Input Session Compression Rules

This Rule monitors the compression ratio used from client to server for a session

Input Session Line Speed Rules

This Rule monitors the line speed, measured in bits/second, used from client to server for a session

Latency – Last Recorded Rules

This Rule monitors the last recorded latency measurement for the session

Latency – Session Average Rules

This Rule monitors the average client latency over the lifetime of a session

Latency – Session Deviation Rules

This Rule monitors the difference between the minimum and maximum measured latency values for a session

Output Audio Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used for playing sound in an ICA session

Output Clipboard Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used for clipboard operations such as cut and paste between the ICA session and the local window

Output COM Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when receiving data from the client COM port

Output Control Channel Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when executing LongCommandLine parameters of a published application

Output Drive Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when performing file operations between the client and server drives during an ICA session

Output Font Data Bandwidth Rules

This Rule monitors the bandwidth, measured in bits/second, used when initiating font changes within a SpeedScreen-enabled ICA session
