Additional citrix monitoring

Network modules

We can remotely monitor the different ports that must be operative in our Citrix environment, here's the essential, but in the following catalog has details of all ports used by different components of Citrix 

http://support.citrix.com/content/dam/supportWS/kA460000000Cc9tCAC/Communication_Ports_ Used_By_Citrix.pdf

1. Controller,  Console Director and StoreFront

Ports 80 and/or 443 TCP 

2.- License Server 

Ports 7279, 27000, 8083, 8082 TCP 

It may do this through port monitoring server or network PandoraFMS through local modules from the same server or another we wanted to use for this purpose. 

Windows: 

module_begin
module_name Check port 80
module_type generic_proc
module_tcpcheck IP_Citrix_server
module_port 80
module_end

Linux:

module_begin
module_name Check port 80
module_type generic_proc
module_exec nmap IP_Citrix_server  | grep 80/tcp | awk '{print $2}' | grep open | wc -l
module_end
Monitoring Citrix Events

We can monitor any of the Citrix events writtent to the Event Log.

For them we can use module logevent type. 

module_begin 
module_name Event Citrix 
module_type async_string 
module_source Application  #Source (Application, System, or Security)
module_eventtype Information #Severity: Error, Information,
module_eventcode # Event ID 
module_description 
module_end

As an example some of the most important events are listed below. Recall that all these configurations should be added to the agent configuration file (pandora_agent.conf)
