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.

Regards

Paul

Monitoring a port CAN be a problem if the system you're monitoring is not
correctly "seeing" the disconnection as being a closed socket.  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)

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.

Cheers,
Joe

We check the IMA Service as well as TCP port connect to 1494 and UDP ICA
to port 1604.

Does anyone use SA to monitor Citrix? If so what do you monitor?
