Hi,
Is there a way to monitor if launching of application/ desktop from the storefront is working or not? Thanks!
Yes, you can monitor the services. Make an application monitor and put the services in, the ones I did were:
Citrix Cluster Join Service
Citrix Configuration Replication
Citrix Credential Wallet
Citrix Default Domain Services
Citrix Peer Resolution Service
Citrix Subscriptions Store
World Wide Web Publishing Service
There are a few templates you can snag off Thwack via Admin > Settings > SAM Settings > Import Template from thwack
Otherwise you can make your own!
I think the OP wants what a lot of people want and that is a Citrix synthetic transaction for store items.
Monitoring services is not a solution, although nice to have.
Sometimes only a specific published app breaks or is not "launch able" out of several published apps, so it would be great to get an alert that a users "Word 97" icon isn't launching properly.
But trapping a failed icon launch from the storefront is a different requirement than overall server health. A failed app can be present with healthy citrix services.
Many Citrix monitoring products have been released, I'm not sure which ones do a synthetic WPM kind of icon launch success/failure check.
I already tried WPM, but the recorded stopped when you clicked the desktop and upon checking the step, there was no URL and was tagged as image. From my understanding, it cannot still see whether the launching is successful or not T_T
