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 a CITRIX-XML-SERVICE monitor, 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, see Configuring Monitors in a Load Balancing Setup.

Note:

The CITRIX-XML-SERVICE monitor is not supported for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops versions 7 and later. It is recommended to use CITRIX-XD-DDC monitor. For more information on CITRIX-XD-DDC monitor, see Citrix Virtual Desktops Delivery Controller service monitoring. However, you can use the CITRIX-XML-SERVICE monitor in versions earlier to XA/XD 7.
