Enable data collection for Citrix ADC Gateway appliances deployed in single-hop mode

November 12, 2019

When Citrix ADC Gateway is deployed in single-hop mode, the ADC Gateway is at the edge of the network and proxies ICA connections to the desktop delivery infrastructure. This is the simplest and most common deployment. This mode provides security if an external user tries to access the internal network in an organization. In single-hop mode, users access the ADC appliances through a virtual private network (VPN).

To start collecting the reports, you must add the ADC Gateway appliance to the Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM) inventory and enable AppFlow on ADM. The following image illustrates a Citrix ADM deployed in single-hop mode

Enable the AppFlow feature from Citrix ADM

In a web browser, type the IP address of Citrix ADM (for example, http://192.168.100.1).
In User Name and Password, enter the administrator credentials.
Navigate to Infrastructure > Instances, and select the ADC instance you want to enable analytics.
From the Action drop-down, select Enable/Disable Insight.
Select the VPN virtual servers, and click Enable AppFlow.
In the Enable AppFlow field, type true, and select ICA.
Click OK.
