Introduction
NetScaler Insight Center, a virtual appliance that runs on XenServer, VMWare ESX, or on Microsoft Hyper-V collects detailed information about web-application and virtual-desktop traffic, such as flow, user-session-level information, web page performance data, and database information flowing through the NetScaler ADCs, NetScaler Gateway appliances, or CloudBridge appliances at a site and provides actionable reports.
Figure 1 below depicts the architecture of the NetScaler Insight Center.

NetScaler Insight Center has two main components:
eG Enterprise integrates with the Web Insight and HDX Insight components of the NetScaler Insight Center, pulls the metrics captured by these components in real-time, and presents them in the eG monitoring console using Citrix Web Insight and Citrix HDX Insight monitoring models, respectively. Through this integration, eG Enterprise leverages the monitoring capabilities of the NetScaler Insight Center, and provides administrators with valuable insights into the performance of applications and the user experience with applications/virtual desktops.
With that, eG can now integrate with both NetScaler Insight Center and XenDesktop Director, thus emerging as a ‘one-stop-shop’ solution that:
Without eG, administrators may have to shuttle between multiple management tools and engage in manual correlation and analysis of metrics to isolate problem conditions and diagnose their root-cause.
