    Anyone been successful in monitoring application availability and citrix functionality with any probes from Nimsoft?  Kinda trying to get something to work with the ica_response probe but it's not working correctly for me so I have a case open.

    Hi Chris,

     

    Are you able to find a solution?

     

    I am also facing same issue in setting up this probe. Can you guide if you are able to fix it?

     

    Thanks,

    Imran

    Hi

     

    We were facing the same issue. We got the probe to work using an ica  file, together with the probe settings (this was the ica_response 3.3, didn't try it with 3.4)

    So:

    General Tab - Server, Server IP filled in

    Username and password filled in

    Application Tab - Start Published Application and enter application name

    Client Settings tab - Use ICA file, override authentication settings in ica file, override application settings in ica file

    Misc tab - Select the QoS you want.

    The issue with us was that the probe didn't seem to connect properly, so that's why we used the ica file for connection only.

     

    Example of an ica file (in here the application name was filled in, not really needed because the probe has that data. But it might help to test the connection first)

     

    [Encoding]

    InputEncoding = ISO8859_1

    [WFClient]

    Version=2

    ProxyType=Auto

    HttpBrowserAddress=1.1.1.1:80

    ConnectionBar=0

     

    [ApplicationServers]

    ApplicationName=

     

    [1.1.1.1]

    Address=ApplicationName

    InitialProgram=#ApplicationName

    CGPAddress=*:2598

    ClientAudio=On

    DesiredColor=8

    DesiredHRes = 1024

    DesiredVRes = 768

    TWIMode = False

    KeyboardTimer = 0

    MouseTimer = 0

    ConnectionBar=0

    Username=

    Domain=

    ClearPassword=

    TransportDriver=TCP/IP

    WinStationDriver=ICA 3.0

    BrowserProtocol=HTTPonTCP

    Compress=On

    EncryptionLevelSession=Encrypt

    [Encrypt]

    DriverNameWin32=PDCRYPTN.DLL

    DriverNameWin16=PDCRYPTW.DLL

    [Compress]

    DriverName=PDCOMP.DLL

    DriverNameWin16=PDCOMPW.DLL

    DriverNameWin32=PDCOMPN.DLL

     

    Using this setup, the probe could connect to the citrix server, log on, launch the application, close it and logoff and measure every QoS.

     

    Hope this helps a bit.
