I have been monitoring our citrix servers on port 1494 with the port connector check for over a year now and not seen any problems as from a servers alive point of view. I had noticed before employing the checks that when a citrix server is up for a long time that some citrix sessions do not sign off properly. You can see them in the citrix console.
The bigger the farm though the more problems encountered.

In the past we have had several support issues with servers (mail/ftp/web/...) that were not very happy with the "port connections" of Servers Alive, from the point-of-view of the server the connection was still open (although closed from Servers Alive) and quicky the servers ran out of connections. Make sure that this is NOT happening. (could be that a Citrix server handles this correctly) Dirk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 2:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] Monitoring Citrix Servers Thanks for the tip! I watched one of our boxes go down yesterday. The pager went off first for the IMA service, then for the Telnet to port 1494. I'll add the other monitor once we get the registered version.
