Comprehensive Citrix ADC Monitoring
Citrix ADC has evolved into a networking powerhouse, supporting a variety of functions including application firewalls, VPN tunnels, caching and acceleration, compression, and ensuring fast delivery of web and desktop applications. Since it plays a central role, the availability and performance of a Citrix ADC is crucial. Not only does ADC performance impact the user experience, but more importantly, it is also important for safeguarding the security and sanctity of the IT infrastructure.
Citrix ADC Monitoring
Requirements
Citrix administrators must:
- Monitor the resource usage levels of all their Citrix ADC appliances.
- Track the status of all services load balanced by each Citrix ADC.
- Monitor ICA and VPN session activity handled by Citrix ADCs.
- Analyze application flows processed by Citrix ADC devices.
The Citrix ADC admin console can be used for some of these requirements but manually looking at the consoles one-by-one is a laborious and time-consuming task.
eG Enterprise for Citrix ADC Monitoring
eG Enterprise is a complete Citrix monitoring solution that provides great visibility into the performance and usage of your Citrix ADCs. With eG Enterprise you can
- All your Citrix ADCs from one console
- Be alerted to all ADC performance anomalies – high traffic, security violations, login errors, load balancing issues, SSL certificate issues, etc.
- Get to the root-cause of application performance problems in one click
- Correlate Citrix ADC performance with that of the other Citrix tiers
Citrix ADC Monitoring Perfected
with
eG Enterprise
eG Enterprise is a Citrix Ready certified solution that monitors all aspects of Citrix ADC usage and performance. It presents actionable insights to administrators through real-time dashboards, alerts, and performance reports. Using a combination of Citrix ADC NITRO APIs, SNMP, and syslog messages, eG Enterprise collects metrics about all aspects of Citrix ADC’s functioning.

Monitoring Network Traffic and Security
eG Enterprise auto-discovers VLANs configured and tracks traffic through each VLAN. It also monitors sessions to reverse network address translated (RNAT) servers. Administrators are automatically alerted to issues such as packet drops, packet collisions, bridge loops, discards, errors, stalls, hangs, and more. Administrators also have visibility into the traffic to and from the NetScaler device for different protocols, including IP, TCP, UDP, DNS, HTTP, and SSL.
eG Enterprise helps you ensure secure access to the infrastructure by detecting and alerting on failed authentications, tracking the effectiveness of application firewall profiles configured, and isolating policy labels that are frequently invoked by the ADC appliance. Critical errors reported in syslog messages are also flagged.
Analyze AppFlows through Citrix ADCs
One of the most common challenges with Citrix performance is slowness of access. When slowness is detected, is the issue due to the Citrix infrastructure or could it be caused by a poor network connection from the user end? With eG Enterprise for Citrix ADC monitoring, administrators can:
This insight is critical for empowering Citrix administrators and helpdesks to quickly troubleshoot complaints of slowness in minutes. To provide this capability, eG Enterprise can be integrated with Citrix ADC Management (ADM) or it can be configured to receive and process AppFlow exports from the Citrix ADCs.
