HDX Application Logins Test
Use this test to determine the current session load on the XenApp servers in your environment. The detailed diagnosis of this test also reveals who launched the sessions, when, from which client, to which server, the session duration, and the overall quality of each user’s session. This way, administrators can quickly identify which application user’s experience is below-par and what is causing it – a flaky network connection? a bandwidth-intensive communication over the network? or a delay at the server-end? The test also tracks session logouts, and points to abnormal logouts.
Target of the test : Citrix NetScaler HDX Insight
Agent deploying the test : A remote agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the monitored environment

Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Current sessions: |
Indicates the number of user sessions that are currently active across all XenApp servers. |
Number |
This is a good indicator of the session load on the XenApp servers. To know which users are contributing to the load, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. The detailed diagnosis additionally reveals when each user logged in, from which client, to which server, the session duration, and the quality of the user’s session. This way, administrators can quickly identify which application user’s experience is below-par and what is causing it - a flaky network connection? a bandwidth-intensive communication over the network? or a delay at the server-end? |
New logins: |
Indicates the number of new logins to the XenApp servers. |
Number |
A consistent zero value could indicate a connection issue. If this measure reports a non-zero value, use the detailed diagnosis of the measure to know which user logged into which XenApp server, when. |
Percent new logins: |
Indicates the percentage of current sessions that logged in during the last measurement period. |
Percent |
|
Sessions logging out: |
Indicates the number of sessions that logged out. |
Number |
If all the current sessions suddenly log out, it indicates a problem condition that requires investigation. The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the sessions that logged out. The quality of each user’s session is also revealed. This way, administrators can quickly identify which application user’s experience is below-par and what is causing it – a flaky network connection? a bandwidth-intensive communication over the network? or a delay at the server-end? |

The detailed diagnosis of the Sessions logging out measure lists the sessions that logged out. The quality of each user’s session is also revealed. This way, administrators can quickly identify which application user’s experience is below-par and what is causing it - a flaky network connection? a bandwidth-intensive communication over the network? or a delay at the server-end?
