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. rob ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Wood Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 11:32 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: User application monitoring 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.

Might have to tweak your thresholds to see what works. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Andrew Wood Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 1:12 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: User application monitoring threadmaster monitoring iexplore.exe ? - that'll monitor a process and allow you to send an alert ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rob Slayden Sent: 20 February 2006 19:01 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] User application monitoring 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?
