CCA Performance Monitoring 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Users report slow logons. Which Citrix Director feature breaks logon time into phases such as Brokering, GPOs, Profile Load, and Interactive Session?
- Session Recording
- Machine Utilization panel
- Application Probing
- Logon Duration panel (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Logon Duration panel
The Logon Duration panel in Director shows a per-phase breakdown of logon time so admins can pinpoint the slow step.
Question 2: In a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site, which component collects the monitoring data that Director displays?
- Citrix Broker Agent on the client device
- License Server Usage service
- Monitor Service on the Delivery Controller (Correct answer)
- StoreFront Subscription Store service
Correct answer: Monitor Service on the Delivery Controller
The Monitor Service on each Delivery Controller collects historical and real-time data and stores it in the Monitoring database.
Question 3: A help desk administrator wants to see a user's screen to watch an error happen during a live session. Which Director action should they use?
- Reset Profile
- Send Message
- Log Off
- Shadow (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Shadow
Shadow starts a Windows Remote Assistance connection so the admin can view or control the user's session.
Question 4: Which metric in Director best shows how responsive a session feels, measuring the time from a user's input to the screen update in response?
- Logon duration
- CPU queue length
- ICA RTT (Correct answer)
- Disk IOPS
Correct answer: ICA RTT
ICA Round Trip Time measures how long it takes from user input until the graphical response appears on screen.
Question 5: In a load management policy, which setting limits how many logons a server can process at the same time before it reports full load?
- Maximum number of sessions
- Application connection
- Disk usage
- Concurrent logons tolerance (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Concurrent logons tolerance
Concurrent logons tolerance caps simultaneous logons so a server is not flooded during logon storms.
Question 6: What is the highest load index a multi-session VDA can report before Citrix considers it fully loaded?
- 100
- 65535
- 1000
- 10000 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 10000
Citrix load index values range from 0 to 10000, and 10000 means the server is fully loaded.
Question 7: An administrator needs network-level HDX performance data, such as WAN latency and DC latency, for ICA sessions passing through the gateway. Which solution provides this?
- Workspace Environment Management
- Citrix Scout
- HDX Insight in NetScaler Console (ADM) (Correct answer)
- Citrix Profile Management
Correct answer: HDX Insight in NetScaler Console (ADM)
HDX Insight uses AppFlow data from NetScaler to report ICA network metrics like WAN and DC latency.
