Measures reported by CtxImaTest
This
test reports
various statistics relating to the Citrix Independent Management
Architecture (IMA). Citrix IMA is an architectural model and a protocol for
server to server communications. IMA includes a collection of subsystems
that define and control the execution of Citrix products. The functions
enabled by IMA include:
-
Central
administration of all the Citrix servers
-
Central
license management and pooling without license gateways
-
Centralized
data store for all Citrix configurations
-
Auditing
of administration activities, etc.
This
test reports the IMA-related communications from this Citrix server to other
Citrix servers. One set of results is reported for each server to server
communication.

Description |
Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Data_rcvd_rate |
Represents
the rate at which data is received by the server from another Citrix server in the farm |
KBytes/Sec
|
Evaluate the IMA traffic periodically to explore
alternative configurations (e.g., splitting a farm) to minimize
network overheads. The IMA traffic between servers can be high
if the indirect mode of data store access is used - in this
case, only one server in the farm directly accesses the data store.
All other servers rely on this server to access the data store |
| Data_xmit_rate |
Represents the rate at
which IMA data is sent by a
server to another server in
the farm
