Event Log Queries

•INFO. This event is generated when an operation has been successfully performed.

•WARN. This event is generated in the following circumstances.

•When a network is disconnected while monitoring a template download.

•When a template download is abandoned.

•When an issue on the storage server causes the volumes to fail over to the mirror storage server.

•ERROR. This event is generated when an operation has not been successfully performed

22.1.5. Event Log Queries

Database logs can be queried from the user interface. The list of events captured by the system includes:

•Virtual machine creation, deletion, and on-going management operations

•Virtual router creation, deletion, and on-going management operations

•Template creation and deletion

•Network/load balancer rules creation and deletion

•Storage volume creation and deletion

•User login and logout

22.1.6. Deleting and Archiving Events and Alerts

CloudPlatform provides you the ability to delete or archive the existing alerts and events that you no longer want to implement. You can regularly delete or archive any alerts or events that you cannot, or do not want to resolve from the database.

You can delete or archive individual alerts or events either directly by using the Quickview or by using the Details page. If you want to delete multiple alerts or events at the same time, you can use the respective context menu. You can delete alerts or events by category for a time period. For example, you can select categories such as USER.LOGOUT, VM.DESTROY, VM.AG.UPDATE, CONFIGURATION.VALUE.EDI, and so on. You can also view the number of events or alerts archived or deleted.

In order to support the delete or archive alerts, the following global parameters have been added:

•alert.purge.delay: The alerts older than specified number of days are purged. Set the value to 0 to never purge alerts automatically.

•alert.purge.interval: The interval in seconds to wait before running the alert purge thread. The default is 86400 seconds (one day).

Note

Archived alerts or events cannot be viewed in the UI or by using the API. They are maintained in the database for auditing or compliance purposes.

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.
