ADC

XML Broker Service monitoring

The Citrix ADC appliance has a built-in monitor type,CITRIX-XML-SERVICE, with which you can create monitors to monitor the XML Broker Services. The XML Broker Services are used by Citrix Virtual Apps. The monitor opens a connection to the service and periodically probes the XML services to which it is bound. If the server responds as expected within the configured time period, the monitor marks the service UP. If the service does not respond, or responds incorrectly, the monitor marks the service DOWN.

To configure aCITRIX-XML-SERVICEmonitor, you need to specify the application name in addition to setting the standard parameters. The application name is the name of the application that has to be run to monitor the state of the XML Broker Service. The default application is Notepad.

To configure monitors for XML Broker Services, seeConfiguring Monitors in a Load Balancing Setup.

Note:

TheCITRIX-XML-SERVICEmonitor is not supported for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops versions 7 and later. It is recommended to useCITRIX-XD-DDCmonitor. For more information onCITRIX-XD-DDCmonitor, seeCitrix Virtual Desktops Delivery Controller service monitoring. However, you can use theCITRIX-XML-SERVICEmonitor in versions earlier to XA/XD 7.
