Gourami releases 'Farm Monitor' beta
Sunday, 13 July 2008 by Michel Roth
The clever guys over at Gourami have released yet another tool into beta. This time around it's a tool called the "Farm Monitor". Farm monitor automatically determines al vital components in your Citrix XenApp/Presentation Server farm and monitors them for availability.

When starting Farm Monitor finds out these key elements of your Citrix farm:

  • Datastore
  • License Server
  • Data Collector(s)

After this, Farm Monitors scans every XenApp/Presentation server in the farm. When all elements of the farm are gathered, Farm Monitor pings these servers to see if they are online/reachable.  You can also choose to monitor to see if specified services are running on the XenApp/Presentation server.  By default Farm Monitor checks the ‘imaservice’,’netlogon’ and ‘spooler’ service. Finaly Farm Monitor can send an email if an alert has been raised.

Download the beta for free here.
