Performance Monitoring Flashcards

Which Director tab lets an administrator view historical data such as session failures, logon performance, and resource usage over time?

Answer: Trends

The Trends view shows historical charts for sessions, failures, logon performance, load, and capacity.

An admin sees many machines in Director listed as 'Unregistered'. What is the most likely impact?

Answer: Those machines cannot accept new user sessions

A VDA must be registered with a Delivery Controller before the broker can send sessions to it.

In the Logon Duration breakdown, a very high 'Profile Load' time most likely points to which issue?

Answer: A large or slow user profile being copied at logon

Profile Load time grows when large profiles or many files must be copied from the profile store at logon.

Which Citrix tool collects diagnostic data such as CDF traces and system info from Citrix components and can upload it to Citrix for analysis?

Answer: Citrix Scout

Citrix Scout gathers diagnostics and CDF traces and can upload them to Citrix Cloud Health Check/Insight Services.

Director alerts can notify administrators when a threshold is crossed. How are these alert notifications usually delivered?

Answer: By email through an SMTP server set up in Director

Director alert policies send email notifications through an SMTP server that you configure.

In Citrix Analytics for Performance, which factor is NOT part of the User Experience (UX) score?

Answer: Number of published applications in the site

The UX score uses logon duration, responsiveness, availability, and resiliency, not how many apps are published.

An admin wants Citrix to test regularly that a published application launches correctly and to be alerted when it fails. Which feature should be used?

Answer: Application probing

Application probing launches apps automatically through StoreFront on a schedule and reports failures in Director.
