How to monitor Citrix XenApp Server with Foglight?

Monitoring a XenApp server can be done in the following fashion:

1. Client side:

For monitoring from the client perspective, use the Foglight Transaction Recorder to create synthetic transactions whose availability and performance would be captured on the FMS. If the web based client provides sophisticated UI technology (Flash/Silverlight, Active-X, etc), then use the Advanced Transaction Recorder, which leverages CitraTest to allow screen capture based scripts to be folded into our synthetic transactions monitoring.

2. Server side:

For server components, use the OS agents including the AppMonitor agent, which would monitor resource usage and availability of the server engine. And if Java or .NET were in use on the server, use the corresponding Foglight agent to provide monitoring and on-demand diagnostics.
