Erwin, Thank you, this is helpful. It is the basic approach that I am looking to take for our POC; monitor the infrastructre from our offices back into the data centers utilizing the CA Solutions. I will also be incorporating the Citrix EdgeSight since the team that will be the Citrix Administrators are very interested in that solution and I think it will be needed.
We will be evalution the CA Solutions, Spectrum, eHealth, NetQoS + SuperAgent. This will get us the overall infrastructure framework covered; and Spectrum will be functioning as the MoM. Since it looks like we will be using encrypted ICA communication from the offices to the data center, the Citrix EdgeSight will be needed to gain that visibility into the Citrix Application Stack. If I had more time I would look into other solutions such as the eginnovations to determine if it could be a EdgeSight alternative. Unfortunately, I was just informed yesterday afternoon that I have less than 5 weeks to get everything setup before our pilot begins; I'll need to have the monitoring setup by then. Since this User Group has been very informative and helpful, I want to thank you for your advice and input.

For E2E synthetic and network aware application performance testing for Citrix, have a look together with CA to NetQos ReporterAnalyzer and SuperAgent. In fact Citrix use Netqos products in house to monitor Citrix application performance. Even Wily CEM could be a possibility. Based on your requirements and citrix setup, a good CA technical Sales could be point you in the best direction If it is just for Fault mngnt, basic monitoring we do a lot with Spectrum / eHealth. Combination of SAA Paths, simulation of citrix traffic within the correct QOS queue's, and event handling of the Citrix Infrastructure, SCOM, Netscaler events into Spectrum. Spectrum positionied as MOM Regards, Erwin ________________________________ From: Karpovitch, Sergei [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: donderdag 13 januari 2011 18:19 To: spectrum Subject: RE: [spectrum] Monitoring for Citrix http://www.eginnovations.com/demorequest/demorequest.php?name=citrix this product is better to monitor Citrix env.

We will be utilizing the full Citrix infrastructure from the desktop to the back-end Citrix servers. As the supervisor of the monitoring tools team, I am tasked with putting together the monitoring requirements, investigating monitoring options and then proposing solutions. At this time we are not using Spectrum or other CA solutions. I have engaged our CA account team and are in discussion with them now. During the pilot I am scoping out a monitoring POC and we will be looking at evaluating the CA Infrastructure Manager solution (Spectrum, eHealth, NetQoS functionality) as well as the Superagent. We are also looking at the Citrix solution for monitoring their components. My question to the list is; do any of you currently have Citrix in-house? If you do, what do you use to monitor Citrix and do you tie it into the network monitoring?
