You might have started with using Citrix ADM for management and monitoring only, and later you might want to use other features such as pooled licensing and analytics. For that, you must transition from the built-in Citrix ADM agent to an external agent.

The built-in agent supports only management and monitoring features. For other Citrix ADM features such as pooled licensing and analytics, you need an external agent. This document covers the steps for transitioning from an existing Citrix ADM built-in agent to an external hypervisor-based agent.

Before you start

Install an external agent before you start transitioning. Follow the procedure given in the topic Install Citrix ADM agent on-premises.

Transition from a built-in agent to an external agent

Follow these steps to transition from a built-in agent to an external agent:

In the Citrix ADM GUI, under Infrastructure > Instances Dashboard > Citrix ADC, select the Citrix ADC instance and click Edit.
Select the site and agent and click OK.
Select the instance again and click Select Action > Rediscover.
