Citrix XenApp 5.0 ICA Session Counters

This template monitors critical events generated by Citrix XenApp 5.0 which may indicate possible service outages or configuration problems. Alerts are set to display the descriptions of events as well as the host name.

Prerequisites: WMI access to target server.

For more information, see “Requirements for Component Monitors and Templates that use WMI” in the Orion APM Administrator Guide.

Credentials: RPC access to the target server.
