Citrix High Availability XML Service Test
The Citrix XML service is responsible for communications between the Web Interface component and the XenDesktop site. The XML Service authenticates users, provides a list of available virtual desktops, and generates the information to allow the end-point to make a connection to the virtual desktop. To understand the load handled by the XML service, proactively determine probable delays in the delivery of the XML service, and to isolate the exact XML transaction that is causing the slowdown, you can use this test.
This test is disabled by default. To enable the test, follow the Agents -> Tests -> Enable/Disable menu sequence, select Citrix Cloud Connector as the Component type, select this test from the Disabled Tests list, and click the < button to enable it.
Target of the test : A Citrix Cloud Connector
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Average transaction time |
Indicates the time taken by this XML transaction to complete. |
Secs |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A high value indicates that a particular XML transaction is taking too much time for execution; this can adversely impact the user experience with the broker. |
Concurrent transactions |
Indicates the number of concurrent transactions being processed. |
Number |
These measures are good indicators of the processing ability of the XML service. |
Transactions |
Indicates the rate at which this transaction was processed by the XML service. |
