Configure uberAgent via Citrix Policies

April 28, 2025

Starting with uberAgent 7.4, uberAgent can be configured through Citrix Studio or Citrix Web Studio when it is installed as part of the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops installation.

Note:

This configuration option is only available if uberAgent is installed using the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops installer. Customers who installed uberAgent using the uberAgent standalone installer must first uninstall uberAgent and then reinstall it using the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops installer to utilize these policies.

Note:

When uberAgent is installed through the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops installer, uberAgent initially operates in an idle mode, running in the background without collecting data. Data collection is only activated when the Enable uberAgent Data Collection policy is set to enabled.

Enable uberAgent Data Collection

Description

This policy determines whether uberAgent is enabled or disabled. When enabled, uberAgent collects several metrics to monitor and analyze:

  • User experience
  • Application performance
  • System health
  • Network activity
  • Security analytics

In addition, enabling this policy is required to activate the Director integration. If uberAgent is only used to enhance Director, no license or configuration archive is necessary. It works out of the box without further setup.

Default Setting: Disabled

uberAgent Configuration Archive Path

Description

This policy specifies the path to a directory containing an uberAgent configuration archive (uberAgent.uAConfig). This archive allows advanced customization of uberAgent.

The configuration archive can be stored:

  • Locally on the endpoint
  • On an SMB share, from which uberAgent automatically retrieves it

Important: Specify only the directory path without the filename. Example: Use \\fileserver\configshare instead of \\fileserver\configshare\uberAgent.uAConfig.

Default Setting: empty (not applied)

Note: This policy is not required if uberAgent is only used to enhance Director.

For a detailed explanation of how to set up and manage the configuration archive, refer to the Central Config File Management documentation.

uberAgent License Archive Path

Description

This policy specifies the path to a directory containing at least one uberAgent license file (uberAgent.lic). License files ensure that uberAgent operates in its licensed mode, unlocking the full feature set.

The license files can be stored:

  • Locally on the endpoint
  • On an SMB share, from which uberAgent automatically retrieves them

Important: Specify only the directory path without the filename.
Example: Use \\licserver\licenseshare instead of \\licserver\licenseshare\uberAgent.lic.

Default Setting: empty (not applied)

Note: This policy is not required if uberAgent is only used to enhance Director.

For detailed instructions on managing license files, refer to the Central License File Management documentation.
