Discovering StoreFront Servers and Other NetScalers Using a Citrix NetScaler
eG Enterprise is capable of automatically discovering the Citrix StoreFront servers in the environment . You can configure the eG manager to directly connect to one/more Citrix NetScaler installations in your environment to perform Citrix StoreFront discovery. The additional benefit that accrues in this process is that, when one/more Citrix StoreFront servers discovered using NetScaler are managed, then eG Enterprise automatically uses the same Citrix NetScaler to collect performance metrics related to the Citrix StoreFront servers. In other words, eG Enterprise auto-configures the tests pertaining to the managed Citrix StoreFront servers with the details of the Citrix NetScaler used for their discovery; this way, the solution minimizes the time and effort involved in manual test configuration, and quickly starts collecting metrics from the StoreFront server. Similarly, if the Citrix NetScaler details need to be modified for any reason, then, you will not be required to manually reconfigure each test for this purpose; changing the configuration of the Citrix NetScaler in the DISCOVERY page will automatically update all the tests that have been configured to collect metrics from that Citrix NetScaler.
To discover the Citrix StoreFront servers via the Citrix NetScaler server, do the following:
Then, select the Add new NetScaler option from the What action would you like to perform? dropdown list.
Figure 1 : Configuring the Citrix NetScaler for discovering the Citrix StoreFront servers
Then, specify the following in the NetScaler Preferences section that appears (see Figure 1).
Upon clicking the Update button, Figure 2 will appear requesting you to confirm whether you want to start discovery based on the specifications provided. Click Yes button to begin discovery.

To view the Citrix NetScaler server configured for discovering the Citrix StoreFront servers, select the View configured NetScalers option from the What action would you like to perform? drop-down list (see Figure 1). Then the list of Citrix NetScaler servers that have been configured for discovering the Citrix StoreFront servers will appear as shown in Figure 3.
To modify a Citrix NetScaler configuration, select the Modify configured NetScaler option from the What action would you like to perform? dropdown list. Figure 4 will then appear displaying the existing configuration of the Citrix NetScaler. You can modify any of the displayed details and update the changes by clicking the Update button.

To delete a particular Citrix NetScaler server, select the Delete configured NetScalers option from the What action would you like to perform? dropdown list from Figure 1. Figure 5 then appears listing all the configured Citrix NetScaler servers. To delete a configured Citrix NetScaler server, select the check box corresponding to it and click the Delete button. To mark all the listed Citrix NetScaler servers for deletion simultaneously, simply select the top-most check box in the column of check boxes and click on the Delete button.
