Monitoring Citrix Servers

[splack12]

Hi,

I'd like to know if it's possible to monitor the user sessions on several Citrix servers in 1 Graph? (so I get a graph with all users logged into the farm)
At the moment I'm using SNMP4Citrix which only allows monitoring the session on 1 server.

Regards,
Rob

Where can i find this SNMP4Citrix??

Thanks.

The \mrtg\doc\reference.html tells me:

Multi Target Syntax

You can also use several statements in a mathematical expression. This could be used to aggregate both B channels in an ISDN connection or multiple T1s that are aggregated into a single channel for greater bandwidth. Note the whitespace arround the target definitions.
Example:

Target[ezwf]: 2:public@wellfleetA + 1:public@wellfleetA
* 4:public@ciscoF
The maximum value either of the two variables monitored are allowed to reach. For monitoring router traffic this is normally the bytes per second this interface port can carry.

If a number higher than MaxBytes is returned, it is ignored. Also read the section on AbsMax for further info. The MaxBytes value is also used in calculating the Y range for unscaled graphs (see the section on Unscaled).



I use it to add four connections to produce one graph.
In an existing .cfg file, I copied an Interface and changed it to read the four specific IOD's.
I guess MaxBytes will be the sum of your citrix licenses.

You can enable SNMP for Metaframe (server and farm setting) that will expose the counters for some things (sessions is in there).

I've created one graph that shows concurrent sessions for 10 of my Terminal Server and Citrix Servers. However, I'm not using the Citrix counters because I had it working with the Terminal Server Sessions prior.

Attached is my graph.

I also located the Citrix OID for activeSessions

1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.3.1.1.1.0

Good Luck.

So, here's how I've set this up.

Each of my servers has a data source for TS Concurrent Connections (also works for Citrix).

I then create a new Graph Template which contains the data sources for all the servers I'm trying to graph.

Once I have that configured, I setup a new graph using that template.

You can use this same method for graphing similiar data sources on the same graph from multiple devices/servers

I think the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.3845.3.1.1.1.0 works only if you have installed the ressource manager on your citrix servers.
And the ressource manager works only with citrix enterprise edition.

Hello

Great !
I want to try your template. Where can I download your template for the Terminal Server ?

Thanks
