Citrix Processes Plug-In - Technical Reference

Introduction

The Citrix Processes Plug-In provides a view of the current processes running on the machine, which stem from a remote login. This view is updated in real-time, and can be configured to display an additional set of metrics to monitor, as well as to filter processes listed to provide a more specific view. The Geneos Rule Manager can then be used to set up a rule that would change state and trigger an event when these metrics rise above a set level.

Multiple sets of processes can be monitored by using multiple instances of this plug-in - one instance per view required. These views can then be shown inside a single Managed Entity or across multiple Managed Entities - one per view.

View

This plug-in produces a single view, an example of which is shown below:

View

Creating Process IDThe process identifier of the creating process.
<value>Other columns as specified in the sampler manager, using the "Counters" parameter.

Plug-In Configuration

The following parameters can be configured for this plug-in:

counters

A list of metrics to monitor for each process. These will be added to the view as columns at the right-hand side of the view.
