Virtual Environment Monitoring - At the conclusion of a virtualization implementation project, you should integrate a monitoring system to observe applications, devices, sessions, and the network in real-time, allowing you to analyze, resolve, and proactively prevent issues in the environment.
Introduction
The EdgeSight Server collects data from devices that have an EdgeSight agent installed. EdgeSight agents must be installed and configured on end user devices, such as desktops, laptops, and virtual desktops, and on XenApp servers to collect data about the environment. EdgeSight gets incremental data uploads from the agents, which are stored in a local firebird database. Any data or report created by the EdgeSight Server is stored in a central SQL database. EdgeSight can be used for both real-time alerting and historical trending of an environment.
Note: EdgeSight for Endpoints licenses must be purchased separately.
EdgeSight Architecture
Citrix EdgeSight is a performance and availability management solution for Citrix XenApp servers and end user devices. EdgeSight can be used to evaluate and predict how systems, applications, and the network perform in an environment. Through real-time monitoring and historical analysis and trending, EdgeSight can be used to improve service and support levels, as well as provide proactive management from an end user perspective.
EdgeSight uses agents on end user devices, such as desktops, laptops, and virtual desktops and on XenApp servers to collect data about the environment. The EdgeSight Server is a centralized server that collects data from the EdgeSight for Endpoint agents and the EdgeSight for XenApp agents. These agents provide visibility into what is happening by displaying real-time data. Data collected in the environment by the agents is regularly uploaded to the EdgeSight Server. By default, data is uploaded once a day, but you can customize the upload intervals.
EdgeSight Benefits - Citrix EdgeSight allows you to:
Monitor and measure actual end user experience - You have real-time visibility into session-level performance and can address potential issues before end users are impacted.
Identify and diagnose slow logon issues - EdgeSight monitors the XenApp logon process, providing visibility into key metrics such as profile load time, logon script execution, and security authentication.
Assess the status of the application delivery environment - EdgeSight identifies the end users, machines, and applications most heavily impacted by performance issues for fast prioritization of crucial resources and displays them in farm, alert, and dashboard views.
Diagnose application performance issues in real time - The support organization can immediately locate the applicable server and analyze highly detailed session-level data to isolate and resolve performance issues.
Analyze system resources for improved capacity management - System planners are able to analyze resource consumption based on actual end user sessions and applications on each server to ensure that future capacity requirements are met.
Maintenance Windows - Maintenance windows are typically scheduled for time periods of low resource utilization in an environment, usually on weekends and out-of-business hours. EdgeSight can be used to determine the best time for maintenance windows by collecting historical data that gives details about the high and low periods of resource utilization. By confirming when the lowest point in resource utilization occurs, you can plan the best time to perform maintenance.
