Discover/Monitor the Target Environment

This page appears when you click on the Discover/Monitor icon on the left panel of the Components at a Glance page. Using this page, you can discover and monitor the components in your environment.

The different environments that eG Enterprise is capable of auto-discovering will be listed in the What would you like to Discover/Monitor? page. Click on the option that best describes your infrastructure. For instance, you can click on the Citrix option in this page if you want a Citrix infrastructure to be monitored.

The Discover/Monitor Citrix Infrastructure page that then appears lists the key Citrix tiers. You can install an eG agent on any of the listed tiers to monitor that tier. Alternatively, you can install an eG agent on the Citrix Delivery Controller, so that you can automatically discover the entire Citrix infrastructure end-to-end. You will find such useful tips/recommendations strewn all over the Discover/Monitor Citrix Infrastructure page, so that you can configure your environment without any assistance!

To install an eG agent on any of the components displayed in the Discover/Monitor Citrix Infrastructure page, click on the Download & install the agent link. All the eG agent packages relevant to the components displayed in this page will then appear in the Download Agents page.

If there are components in the chosen infrastructure that can only be monitored in an agentless manner, then such components will be highlighted at the bottom of this page. To configure agentless monitoring for those components, click on the first Click here link you see at the bottom of this page. The Monitor Citrix Infrastructure page (in our example) will then appear listing the remote agents that pre-exist.

In the Monitor Citrix Infrastructure page, click on Download & install a remote agent link to download and install another remote agent for monitoring the components. On the other hand, if you want to use one of the existing remote agents for monitoring the components, then click on the remote agent of your choice. The Monitor Citrix Infrastructure using <remote agent of your choice> page will then appear displaying the component types that can be monitored only in an agentless manner.

To manage the component of a type in an agentless manner, click on that component type in the Monitor Citrix Infrastructure using <chosen remote agent> page. The Monitor <chosen Component Type> using <chosen remote agent> page will then appear using which you can add the component for monitoring.
