Customizing the Network Domain Name

</appender>

The following example shows how to configure two Syslog managers at IP addresses 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2. Substitute your own IP addresses. You can set Facility to any syslog-defined value, such as LOCAL0 - LOCAL7. Do not change the other values.

<appender name="ALERTSYSLOG">

<param name="Threshold" value="WARN"/>

<param name="SyslogHosts" value="10.1.1.1,10.1.1.2"/> <param name="Facility" value="LOCAL6"/>

<layout>

<param name="ConversionPattern" value=""/> </layout>

</appender>

4.If your cloud has multiple Management Server nodes, repeat these steps to edit log4j-cloud.xml on every instance.

5.If you have made these changes while the Management Server is running, wait a few minutes for the change to take effect.

Troubleshooting: If no alerts appear at the configured SNMP or Syslog manager after a reasonable amount of time, it is likely that there is an error in the syntax of the <appender> entry in log4j- cloud.xml. Check to be sure that the format and settings are correct.

19.4.2.4. Deleting an SNMP or Syslog Manager

To remove an external SNMP manager or Syslog manager so that it no longer receives alerts from CloudPlatform, remove the corresponding entry from the file /etc/cloudstack/management/log4j- cloud.xml.

19.5. Customizing the Network Domain Name

The root administrator can optionally assign a custom DNS suffix at the level of a network, account, domain, zone, or entire CloudPlatform installation, and a domain administrator can do so within their own domain. To specify a custom domain name and put it into effect, follow these steps.

1.Set the DNS suffix at the desired scope

•At the network level, the DNS suffix can be assigned through the UI when creating a new network, as described in Section 16.10.1, “Adding an Additional Guest Network” or with the updateNetwork command in the CloudPlatform API.

•At the account, domain, or zone level, the DNS suffix can be assigned with the appropriate CloudPlatform API commands: createAccount, editAccount, createDomain, editDomain, createZone, or editZone.

•At the global level, use the configuration parameter guest.domain.suffix. You can also use the CloudPlatform API command updateConfiguration. After modifying this global configuration, restart the Management Server to put the new setting into effect.

2.To make the new DNS suffix take effect for an existing network, call the CloudPlatform API command updateNetwork. This step is not necessary when the DNS suffix was specified while creating a new network.

The source of the network domain that is used depends on the following rules.

4.2 specifications

Citrix Systems, a leading provider of virtualization solutions and cloud computing technologies, released version 4.2 of its popular software, Citrix XenApp, which was previously known as Presentation Server. This version marked a significant evolution in providing users with remote access to applications and desktops, emphasizing simplicity, performance, and security.

One of the standout features of Citrix XenApp 4.2 is its improved application streaming capabilities. This technology allows applications to be delivered to users in real-time, reducing the need for extensive local installations and enhancing the user experience. With application streaming, administrators can efficiently manage applications on a central server while ensuring that users have immediate access to the necessary tools.

Another highlight of this version is the enhanced security measures put in place to protect sensitive data. Citrix XenApp 4.2 includes support for SSL encryption, providing a secure communication channel for data transmitted between the server and clients. This is particularly crucial for businesses that need to comply with strict data protection regulations. Additionally, the integration of endpoint security features ensures that unauthorized access to applications is minimized.

Performance enhancements are also a critical focus in this release. Citrix optimized the delivery of applications over various network conditions, ensuring that users experience minimal latency regardless of their location. This was achieved through the incorporation of SmartAccess and SmartControl technologies, which allow administrators to set policies based on user roles, device types, and network conditions. This level of granularity enables organization-wide security without compromising on usability.

The user experience was further improved with a revamped interface, making it easier for end-users to access their applications and data. Simplified menus, clear navigation paths, and the ability to customize user settings contributed to a more efficient workflow, allowing users to focus on their tasks rather than struggling with the software.

Finally, Citrix XenApp 4.2 was designed to be highly scalable. Organizations of all sizes could deploy this solution to deliver applications efficiently, adapting to their specific needs as their user base grows or changes. This flexibility is crucial for businesses looking to future-proof their IT investments while maintaining optimal performance.

In summary, Citrix XenApp 4.2 stands out with its enhanced application streaming, robust security features, improved performance under varying conditions, user-friendly interface, and scalability, making it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to leverage virtualization for remote access to applications and desktops.
