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

Exploring individual License Servers and Controllers

If you see any indicators that can potentially lead to License Server or Delivery Controller performance degradation, you can explore these components in more detail to find out more information. The License Server and Delivery Controller Explorer views help you understand the state of the resources of the host on which the License Server or Deliver Controller is running, if that host is already monitored with Foglight™ for Infrastructure. You can observe how the existing resource levels affect your monitored system as a whole. Along with displaying the system, network, CPU, memory, disk usage metrics, and any related alarms, this intuitive dashboard connects these visual elements with a series of graphical flows that illustrate how quickly the hosts transmits and processes data in real time. For example, you can review the rates of incoming and outgoing data and how they affect your network resources. For complete information about this view, see your Foglight for Infrastructure documentation.

Use these views to look for any indicators that can help you understand the underlying cause of performance degradation. For example, a high number of alarms that indicate a shortage in system resources can be related to a problem leading to degradation in the overall end-user experience and should be further investigated.

Investigating the use of Desktop resources

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 in the Summary - Desktop view. This view shows the usage of system resources for the selected desktop. 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.

Desktop properties

The configuration information about the selected desktop site: its name, the catalog name, whether it delivers desktops only or desktops with applications, whether it is a static or random desktop, whether it persists or discards user changes, whether it is a virtual or physical machine, the OS and protocol in use, and the host name and IP address (for physical hosts).

CPU

Depending on the type of selected desktop (physical or virtual), CPU metrics are displayed in two different views.

For virtual desktops, the CPU view displays the CPU Load spinner indicating the current percentage of the selected virtual machine’s CPU load, used to execute system code and user programs, based on the total CPU capacity. The % Used line in the CPU Utilization chart shows the percentage of the CPU utilization used by the virtual machine to execute system code and user programs, during the selected time period. % Ready displays the percentage of the virtual machine’s CPU resources that are ready to execute system code and user programs during the selected time period. The Baseline area in the chart indicates the expected CPU utilization range based on historical data.

For physical desktops, the CPU Utilization line in the chart shows the percentage of the CPU utilization used by the physical machine to execute system code and user programs, during the selected time period. Run Queue Length displays the number of processes that are waiting to be executed, during the selected time period. The Baseline area in the chart indicates the expected CPU utilization range based on historical data.

The History bar appearing above the chart indicates the alarm state of the selected desktop’s CPU resources over the selected time range period. The color of the bar changes over that period depending on the alarm state. Red indicates that the selected component is in Fatal state, orange indicates Critical, yellow means Warning, and green is for the Normal state.

If any CPU-related alarms are generated against the desktop, the counts of alarms in each severity state are displayed.

Memory

Depending on the type of selected desktop (physical or virtual), memory metrics are displayed in two different views.

For virtual desktops, the Memory view displays the Memory spinner indicating the current percentage of the average memory usage by the selected virtual machine, 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.

For physical desktops, the Memory Utilization line in the chart shows the percentage of the memory resources physical machine uses during the selected time period. The Baseline area in the chart indicates the expected memory utilization range based on historical data.

The History bar appearing above the chart indicates the alarm state of the selected desktop’s memory resources over the selected time range period. The color of the bar changes over that period depending on the alarm state.
