Configuring Citrix DaaS Monitor for Comprehensive Infrastructure Monitoring

The Citrix DaaS Monitor service now allows monitoring of Citrix infrastructure components such as Cloud Connectors, Provisioning Services, and Storefront. In this blog, we will explore how to monitor these servers using Citrix DaaS Monitor.

Configuring Citrix Infrastructure Monitoring

Citrix Cloud automatically monitors the status of Cloud connectors without installing any additional agents. As part of the Citrix Cloud monitoring, Citrix captures the below thresholds from the server and provide the visibility to admins.

  • Server Status and Version

  • Server Performance Metrics: -

  1. CPU usage %

  2. Memory usage %

  3. Disk IOPS

  4. Disk latency (ms)

  5. Last boot time

  • Core Citrix Services part of cloud connector

View Cloud connector monitoring.

To check the cloud connector monitoring status, go to Citrix Cloud --> DaaS --> Monitor and select "Infrastructure" in the monitor window.

You can access three tabs: cloud connectors, provisioning services, and storefront.
