Contributed by:  R S G

Before you begin using Citrix Application Delivery Management (Citrix ADM), you must review the software requirements, browser requirements, port information, license information, and limitations.

Supported browsers

To access Citrix ADM, your workstation must have a supported web browser.

The following browsers are supported.

Web Browser Version
Internet Explorer 11.0 and later
Google Chrome Chrome 19 and later
Safari Safari 5.1.1 and later
Mozilla Firefox Firefox 3.6.25 and later

Agent installation requirements

Install and configure an agent in your network environment to enable communication between the Citrix ADM and the managed instances in your data center. In your data center on-premises, you can install an agent on Citrix XenServer, VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Linux KVM server.

The following table lists the virtual computing resources that the hypervisor must provide for each Citrix ADM agent.

Component Requirement
RAM 32 GB
Virtual CPU 8
Storage Space 30 GB
Virtual Network interfaces 1
Throughput 1 Gbps

Note

You can also install your agent on Microsoft Azure cloud or AWS cloud. The agent image is available on the respective cloud marketplace.

Lightweight agent for pooled licensing

If you plan to use ADM service only for pooled licensing, you can use an agent with lower specifications, as listed in the following table:

Component Requirement
RAM 8 GB
Virtual CPU 4
Storage Space 30 GB

Such agents with lower specifications (lightweight) are supported only on ADM service.

Note

You must disable the default scheduling jobs by navigating to Settings > System Settings > Configurable Features.

Ports

For communications between Citrix ADC instances and Citrix ADM agent, or Citrix SD-WAN instances and Citrix ADM agent, the following ports must be open in Citrix ADM agent:

Type Port Details
TCP 80/443 For NITRO communication from Citrix ADM agent to Citrix ADC or Citrix SD-WAN instances.
TCP 22 For SSH communication from Citrix ADM agent to Citrix ADC or Citrix SD-WAN instances.
UDP 4739 For AppFlow communication from Citrix ADC or Citrix SD-WAN instances to Citrix ADM agent.
ICMP No reserved port To detect network reachability from Citrix ADM agent to Citrix ADC or Citrix SD-WAN instances.
SNMP 161, 162 To receive SNMP events from Citrix ADC instance to Citrix ADM agent.
Syslog 514 To receive syslog messages from Citrix ADC or Citrix SD-WAN instances to Citrix ADM agent.
TCP 5557 For logstream communication (for Security Insight, Web Insight, and HDX Insight) from Citrix ADC instances to Citrix ADM agent.
TCP 5563 To receive ADC metrics (counters), system events, and Audit Log messages from Citrix ADC instances to Citrix ADM agent.
TCP 27000 and 7279 To check out Citrix ADC licenses from Citrix ADM.

For communication between Citrix ADM agent and Citrix ADM, ensure the following port is open in Citrix ADM agent:

Type Port Details
HTTPS 443 For communication from Citrix ADM agent to Citrix ADM.

Note

The endpoint of the Citrix ADM is the same as the “Service URL” generated while trying to register the agent. The agent uses the Service URL to locate the Citrix ADM.

Ensure that the following endpoints are whitelisted:

  • Telemetry: https://discoverypoc.blob.core.windows.net

  • Download Service: https://download.citrixnetworkapi.net

  • Trust Service: trust.citrixnetworkapi.net

  • Service URL: *.agent.adm.cloud.com and *.adm.cloud.com

Deprecated FQDNs

Some FQDNs are deprecated for the following use of ADM service. To help you switch to the new FQDNs without any interruption, the deprecated FQDNs continue to work for some time and will be phased out slowly.

ADM Service Endpoints Old FQDN New FQDN
ADM Service UI Access netscalermas.cloud.com adm.cloud.com
Service URL agent.netscalermgmt.net *.agent.adm.cloud.com Note: The value of * would depend on which PoP (point of presence) your data is available.
API interactions netscalermas.cloud.com api.adm.cloud.com

Requirements for Citrix ADM Analytics solution

Minimum Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops versions required

Citrix ADM Feature Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Version
HDX Insight Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.0 and later

Note

The Citrix Gateway feature (branded as Access Gateway Enterprise for versions 9.3 and 10.x) must be available on the Citrix ADC instance. Citrix ADM does not support standalone Access Gateway Standard appliances.

Citrix ADM can generate reports for applications that are published on Citrix Virtual App or Desktop and accessed through Citrix Receiver. However, this capability depends on the operating system on which the Receiver is installed. Currently, a Citrix ADC does not parse ICA traffic for applications or desktops that are accessed through Citrix Receiver running on iOS or Android operating systems.

Thin clients supported for HDX Insight

Citrix ADM supports the following thin clients for monitoring Citrix ADC instances running on software version 11.0 Build 65.31 and later:

  • Dell Wyse Windows based Thin Clients
  • Dell Wyse Linux based Thin Clients
  • Dell Wyse ThinOS based Thin Clients
  • 10ZiG Ubuntu based Thin Clients

Citrix ADC instance license required for HDX Insight

The data collected by Citrix ADM for HDX Insight depends on the version and the installed licenses of the Citrix ADC instances that are monitored. HDX Insight reports are displayed only for Citrix ADC Premium and Enterprise appliances running on software version 10.5 and later.

           
Citrix ADC License/Duration 5 minutes 1 Hour 1 Day 1 Week > 1 Month
