There is a time, I wrote about ControlUp and how it can help monitor Citrix environments XenApp and XenDesktop in real time. Looking your positive feedback, I decided to keep an eye on this tool.
Last month, Smart-X CTO informed me of a new version of ControlUp now available for download. After reviewing some of the new features in 2.0 ControlUp, I thought it would be a good idea to share with our community.
For those of you managing large deployments of XenApp or XenDesktop, a central configuration allows all users in the same organization ControlUp to see the same computer tree (similar to AppCenter). An authorization delegation option also allows the administration with role-based views and actions based on AD groups (again, similar to AppCenter)
From admin viewpoint Citrix, the the most interesting new features are probably the following :.
- programs and updates Controller - this new controller allows you to quickly compare software and updates installed on multiple XenApp or XenDesktop virtual machines, making it easy for you to identify if a patch or software component is missing on one of your. Servers
- New Citrix columns of data - Datacenter Citrix Desktop Surveillance and - This new version of ControlUp adds all performance counters XenApp and XenDesktop mentioned in our operations Guide. This includes things like "XenApp DataStore Connection Failure" or "XenApp number of occupied XML Threads" for example
- Stress Level Customization -. The level column stress in the previous version was pretty basic. you can now customize how each performance counter influences the overall stress level, giving you the ability to adjust the mechanisms used to assess the health of each computer, or session process.
ControlUp is free for managing up to 50 sessions VM XenDesktop or XenApp. for more information, just visit this website.
