Do you remember those days when IT administrators enterprise applications to implement and had to constantly monitor the health of workloads ensure scale to be that they run at optimum performance and had to be manually changed requirements? , in fact, they must have been, really have tough days!
But here comes Citrix Lifecycle Management (CLM), which will relieve all your pain.
Trust me, I said "all" your pain, and that is exactly what we mean. CLM automates the provisioning of application workloads by out-of-the-box Citrix plans reviewed and monitors the health, performance and availability of application workloads in real time.
Today I'm going to show you just how to gain the advantages of CLM by actions, monitor key performance indicators and alerts for these metrics. This blog is only a cursory overview to demonstrate the immense value that CLM offers.
Suppose you have an IT administrator are. Your normal work has only just begun, and you were happy to troubleshoot a current network problem that came in last night, but suddenly a critical point occurs, which must be resolved immediately. Of course you want to do it quickly, because it is the business of the effect. They analyze quickly the problem and are able to determine the cause. A big praise! But now you find out about how you implemented your solution.
you know somewhere in your mind that a server (or a few) to launch a public or private cloud might need, and you may need some scripts to run on that server periodically. Once the script executions are done, you think the CPU usage, disk usage, memory usage and other metrics may need to be monitored. Something in connection with automatic failover and failback is performed also in the back of the head.
Aah! You start scratching your head off, searching the Internet want if it was an automatic tool that you just asked to perform some clicks and select some configurations, and get your entire job done!
Then it happened.
Because you used the right keywords, you will find CLM! And to read after about what it does, you know immediately CLM is your savior! By signing quickly and in a few moments, you will be logged in to undergo only the best user experience in your life.
your script ready, and create a new blueprint. Your plan includes a "server" step, which you considered only the different of the options. Your plan looks like this:
After that you will go ahead and click the "manage" in your plan and add some operational tasks. In essence, we take a custom schedule to be established, which repeats every 5 minutes and ends after three events. You want to be running your script on the server after the user-defined schedule.
To drag your script and put it in steps section. The operations section of your blueprint looks like this:
Now that your Blueprint everything is ready, start your plan on an already established Resource Location ( only one environment locally or in the cloud). After the Blueprint starts, eagerly waiting to be successfully completed on the blueprint. After some time, she adds, and you open the deployment report.
you will see the following message "Agent Registration successful" and know that the CLM-Agent is successfully installed on the server. With much anticipation you access to the "Operations" section to see if the magic happens? And you are amazed to see below. Bingo! It worked exactly as you expect it.
take a sigh! And you access to the "Monitoring" section of your deployment, only beautiful visual diagrams for standard information, such as CPU utilization, disk usage, etc., as shown below:
having also to know the performance monitoring that CLM offers, your happiness has no limits and you brew with ecstasy ... But as we all know ephemeral happiness.
Suddenly a new request comes, and to monitor a specific port is required. Assume that the server is running web and you are obliged to monitor whether jetty port is open and available at all times? And just in case, if this is not the case, even for a little time, you are bound to trigger an alarm and increase emails. Man, it sounds critical.
Yes, indeed it is!
Meanwhile you wish strongly that you do not write for creating custom monitors long scripts or set up some external tools. And the question of whether CLM can do it for you? to read the product documentation
you are smart and fast a warning that will be set up triggered and E send -mails to everyone and anyone you choose, if the threshold is not reached. Assuming that you want to set off the alarm when the average value of the port to 0 for 2 minutes is the same, it would look like this:
Roger that!
Sit back and relax now and CLM will take care of everything. In a matter of few minutes you will have created a Linux server on EC2 launched to set up a script to regularly run on the server, configure individual monitoring for new metrics and set up your alert notification system that you and your team members are notified only in case the server is in the middle of the night down!
This is not the breakpoint. It is only the beginning. You can also failover and failback rules for disaster recovery setup and configure manual and automatic scaling for efficiency and varying requirements. Is not it cool? Definitely!
In this blog I have given only a taste of what CLM can do for you. Needless to say, CLM automates the entire lifecycle of Citrix applications by out-of-the-box Citrix review plans for XenDesktop, XenApp, XenMobile, NetScaler and Workspace Suite and other business applications. I am sure you would have come to recognize that how to change CLM and ROCK YOUR WORLD is!
