CCA Performance Monitoring 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which Director tab lets an administrator view historical data such as session failures, logon performance, and resource usage over time?
- Search
- Filters
- Trends (Correct answer)
- Dashboard
Correct answer: Trends
The Trends view shows historical charts for sessions, failures, logon performance, load, and capacity.
Question 2: An admin sees many machines in Director listed as 'Unregistered'. What is the most likely impact?
- Those machines cannot accept new user sessions (Correct answer)
- Those machines only allow administrator logons
- Those machines run with reduced HDX graphics quality
- Those machines move to the Monitoring database automatically
Correct 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.
Question 3: In the Logon Duration breakdown, a very high 'Profile Load' time most likely points to which issue?
- A Delivery Controller license shortage
- Slow DNS lookups by StoreFront
- A large or slow user profile being copied at logon (Correct answer)
- Slow HDX graphics encoding
Correct 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.
Question 4: Which Citrix tool collects diagnostic data such as CDF traces and system info from Citrix components and can upload it to Citrix for analysis?
- Citrix Studio
- Citrix Director
- StoreFront Console
- Citrix Scout (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Citrix Scout
Citrix Scout gathers diagnostics and CDF traces and can upload them to Citrix Cloud Health Check/Insight Services.
Question 5: Director alerts can notify administrators when a threshold is crossed. How are these alert notifications usually delivered?
- By Windows Event Forwarding from the License Server
- By pop-ups on every user's endpoint
- By SNMP traps sent only from StoreFront
- By email through an SMTP server set up in Director (Correct answer)
Correct answer: By email through an SMTP server set up in Director
Director alert policies send email notifications through an SMTP server that you configure.
Question 6: In Citrix Analytics for Performance, which factor is NOT part of the User Experience (UX) score?
- Session resiliency
- Session logon duration
- Number of published applications in the site (Correct answer)
- Session responsiveness
Correct answer: Number of published applications in the site
The UX score uses logon duration, responsiveness, availability, and resiliency, not how many apps are published.
Question 7: 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?
- Session lingering
- Autoscale
- Session prelaunch
- Application probing (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Application probing
Application probing launches apps automatically through StoreFront on a schedule and reports failures in Director.
