Actually, there is no impact to the farm when the app tanks. It is
simply the user experience that suffers. It's like looking for a website
that is no longer accessible. I will definitely take a look at the
product though; free is good! Thanks for the suggestion.

true - but threadmaster'll scupper the cpu back on the process and
reduce the impact of a user's errant process on other others - as well
as alerting you to the fact that its doing it.
 
And its free.

You could set up monitoring in RM. Might have to tweak your thresholds
to see what works.

        threadmaster monitoring iexplore.exe ? - that'll monitor a
process and allow you to send an alert

        Got another somewhat peculiar request for the list. We have a
misbehaving internally developed web-based application that is accessed
through a Citrix session as one of several web-based apps. This
particular app is tanking badly and has been for quite some time now.
Tiger team focus, obscure tweaks and configs, and much hardware have all
failed to resolve the problem. Management has asked me if it's possible
to know at a club when the app performance degrades and the app tanks.
Can anyone recommend a product that might monitor a web-based app within
a Citrix session and send alert notification when specific user-based
performance thresholds have been exceeded or web page errors display? We
use Wyse terminals at the clubs but we could deploy a few PCs running
Citrix sessions to the app and whatever performance monitoring agent
could provide us with this information.
         
        Any ideas?
         
        Thanks!
