Monitoring Citrix Server Farms

I want to know how to configure SolarWinds to do detailed Monitoring of Citrix Server Farms. There are some specific Citrix monitoring solutions on the market but I want to know how to get the one I just spent $40,000 on to do it. Any suggestions?

What specifically do you want to monitor?

I want to track application availability, session time, bounce rate for users, processes running/failed based on user. I am having issues with the performance of the farm and I need some trending analysis to zero in on the cause of my problems.

If you're running on Windows, you can use the AppBuilder to browse to WMI Counters that will--I think--report on those factors. Use the WMI Performance Counter Monoitor

Are you on Windows?

Yes, the server is loaded on a Windows 2003 server. I am not sure I know how to do what you are describing. I will have to work with it and see if I can understand. I have said it before, owning this product suite is like owning a Lowe’s. Everything you need to build a house is in there but you cannot walk in and buy a house off of the shelf. It seems like I need to bring on an engineer just to maintain my SolarWinds installation.
