Foglight for Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp 6.3.0 - User Guide

Getting started Setting up data collection agents Monitoring the performance of your XenDesktop environment

Monitor tab (NetScaler data)

The Monitor tab visualizes the main components in the selected session and their connectivity. This can help you understand the effect of these components may have on your system. Along with displaying the client, NetScaler gateway, and the application or desktop server, this intuitive dashboard connects these elements with a series of graphical flows illustrating the transmission of the session data. For example, you can review the rates of data and flowing between the client, NetScaler gateway, and the application or desktop server, and identify any signs of potential network congestion that may affect your system.

Table 14. Summary - Desktop view

The Packet Engine spinner indicates the current percentage of the NetScaler CPU load, used to process data packets, based on the total CPU capacity. The NetScaler packet engine collects data packets from the network and processes them. An efficient packet engine can process data packets in microseconds, optimizing application delivery and overall user experience.

The Management spinner indicates the current percentage of the NetScaler CPU load, used to process management functions, based on the total CPU capacity. Management functions include activities such as SNMP communications and management console access. Reserving capacity for management features allows the administrator to efficiently manage the system during heavy traffic loads.

The Packet Engine line in the CPU Utilization chart shows the percentage of the NetScaler CPU load used to process data packets, during the selected time period.

The /var Total line shows the total amount of the available hard disk space, during the selected time period.

The /var Used line in the chart represents the total amount of the hard disk space used during the selected time period.

The Packet Engine spinner indicates the current percentage of the NetScaler memory load used to process data packets, based on the total memory capacity.

The Utilization line in the Memory Utilization chart shows the percentage of memory used by the virtual machine during the selected time period. The Baseline area in the chart indicates the expected memory utilization range based on historical data.

The Bandwidth spinner indicates the current percentage of the NetScaler network bandwidth that is currently in use, based on the total memory capacity.

The Send line in the Network Bandwidth chart shows the rate at which NetScaler sends data to the network during the selected time period.

The Receive line in the Network Bandwidth chart shows the rate at which NetScaler receives data from the network during the selected time period.

The Total line in the Network Bandwidth chart shows the rate at which NetScaler receives and sends data to the network during the selected time period.

This table identifies the sessions with the highest data transfer rates. For each session, it identifies the user, desktop, and delivery controller associated with the session. It also displays delivery controller and desktop data transfer rates, and the TCP round-trip times.

Monitor tab (host data)

The Monitor tab visualizes the main components in the selected session and their connectivity. This can help you understand the effect of these components may have on your system. These metrics are typically collected by NetScaler agents. However, if NetScaler data is not available, you can collect session metrics directly from the host, if you selected the Collect Session metrics when NetScaler data not available option in the XenDesktop Discovery Wizard. For more information about the XenDesktop Discovery Wizard, see Discovering XenDesktop sites .

When you collect session metrics directly from the host, the Monitor tab can help you understand how well the monitored system responds to client requests in a selected session. It also provides some basic session information, such as the session name, state, catalog name, logon duration, support type, and the delivery group to which it belongs.

General information about the session, such as its name, state, catalog name, logon duration, support type, and the delivery group to which it belongs.

Desktop tab

In your monitored environment, a Desktop component encapsulates a Windows® desktop together with application elements that are delivered to end-users on demand. You can review the performance of individual desktops on the Desktop tab. This tab shows the usage of system resources for the desktop associated with the selected session. Use it to see the trends in usage of the selected component’s system resources, and to review any generated alarms, if they exist. For example, high peaks in the memory utilization chart, that drastically exceed historical values could result in performance degradation and should be investigated.
