A Real-World Example

08:00 User to the helpdesk – “my application access is very slow. I am not able to work properly.”

8:00AM

Helpdesk

We will get on it

right away!


What Follows …

Citrix Director / EdgeSight

VMware VCOPS - Virtual

Task Manager - Windows

Event Viewer - Windows

EMC Ionix - Storage Cisco UCS Manager - Hardware

CiscoWorks - Network


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!
