Summary

The Dynatrace Citrix monitoring extension has been enhanced to incorporate observability signals from Citrix PowerShell SDK cmdlets, complementing existing metrics related to users, sessions, and Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) environments. This update allows businesses, particularly those in regulated sectors like healthcare and finance, to maintain robust monitoring and analytics across Citrix platforms, which are vital for infrastructure management and secure application delivery. The integration of automated AI-powered analytics helps manage the scale of enterprise monitoring, and Dynatrace's collaboration with Citrix users since 2019 has ensured the extension's capabilities align with the evolving needs of such environments. The enhanced extension improves the ability to observe Citrix users and delivery agents through a dual-method approach using the Citrix SDK. It provides insights into user performance and system trends, helping Citrix admins assess health, troubleshoot issues, and plan landscape progression. The Dynatrace platform unifies observability across infrastructure and applications, offering detailed visibility into the entire application delivery chain, including network tiers, while maintaining the functionality of Citrix Studio and Director for application lifecycle management.
