User to the helpdesk – “my application access is very slow. I am not able to
work properly.”

The Troubleshooting conference call
16. © eG Innovations, Inc | www.eginnovations.com
A Real-World Example
08:00 Helpdesk receives a call that application access is slow
09:00
Helpdesk has received many calls that application access is slow. The Citrix
admin is called to look at the issue.
11:00
The Citrix admin has reviewed Director/EdgeSight metrics, has killed the
offending process. But user complaints persist.
12:00
The Citrix admin decides to reboot the server but the problem persists even after
the reboot.
13:00
The problem does not appear to be specific to Citrix. The Citrix admin calls
for a conference call with the other administrators .
17:00 After hours of troubleshooting, the problem is identified in the VMware tier!

Real-World Example - Revisited
06:30
The helpdesk receives an automatic alert saying that access to Ctirix is
slowing down. No user has been impacted yet.
6:30AM
Helpdesk
This looks
odd. Let’s
get to the
bottom of
this before
users start
calling …

Triage Problems Quickly
The application that is
responsible for the slow
down – a samba backup
job
6:35AM
Helpdesk
Yup, the
backup job
is taking up
resources

The Result
06:30 The helpdesk seels an alert of a slowdown with Citrix access.
06:35
The helpdesk reviews the service topology and determines that there is an
issue on the VMware server. Contacts the VM administrator.
06:45
The VMware administrator realizes that the backup job is impacting the user
experience. Reschedules the backup job for later in the evening.

Case of a Memory Bottleneck!
The Physical Memory Utilization
on Citrix Xen App Server YKCXT05
is very high (around 99%). Using the
eG Detailed Diagnosis (Magnifying
Glass) , We can drill down into the
top Processes consuming High
Memory on this server.
eG was able to
monitor and alert
on the Memory
Bottleneck
identified on the
Citrix CXT05.

Case of CPU Bottleneck!
The CPU Utilization on Citrix
Server CXT05 was at nearly
100% for more than 30
minutes. We also see the CPU
RUN Queue Length increase
confirming a CPU bottleneck.
eG was able to identify the
process which was
responsible for the high
CPU Utilization –
