Seems more focused on real-time events and event log monitoring. Systrack
seems to focus more on Metaframe type events and historical analysis. I
hear that Resource Manager is acutally a scaled down Systrack that Citrix
licenses from Lakeside Software. Maybe that explains the focus.
We have SMS, Insight Manager, and Aeleta (event log reporting) so I think
all the OS level functions are covered. Performance Monitor can also
provide some of the OS and app statistics (memory, cpu, etc). What else
out there focuses on the Metaframe portion of the equation? If I can only
purchase one tool, that's where I want to focus.

I evaluated the Rippletech product a while back - it looked really good,
but
also came with a hefty price-tag. If memory serves it was about $2K per
server. It was a solid product though.

When I was looking into this, expressly for Citrix, the one that pulled at
my strings the most was LogCaster from RippleTech. Take a look at their
site and see if it might do what you want.

They have a great demo product too.

I checked out their website. It looks more like a realtime montoring tool.
I can't tell from their brochures if it can tell me how many time a person
logged on in a month, which cost center uses it the most, which apps were
most popular, etc. I am looking for a tool that will satisfy two
different groups: front-line support and management. NetIQ definitely
helps
the front line folks with all the alerting, but Systrack has the reports
that mgmt likes to see. Sigh.

You didn't say how much you had to spend:
Resource Manager already included in the enterprise edition of Citrix
NetIQ

HI folks,
I have been lucky enough to get some funding for Citrix monitoring tools.
The only I can find is Systrack. Are there any others? Now, I am not so
much as looking for real time notifications as I am on reporting on server
stats, data that helps me troubleshoot, etc.
