New features in 3.0 are: Client Performance Monitoring Extends the application data you can collect, showing client performance information. You now have an extended data report option to monitor client performance at the desktop, in real-time! As the user’s performance degrades, PinPoint will automatically collect information about your client machines. The client agent installation is simple, and information collected on the client includes client CPU, Network, Disk, and Memory. PinPoint generates a report showing the user’s desktop information on demand, or when there are problems with Citrix end user experience. The extended data analysis also automatically monitors the quality of the network from the user’s remote desktop to any network server. Automatic Server Discovery Now you can automatically determine the servers the application references. With PinPoint, you immediately know the other terminal servers in the farm, the database servers used, and any file servers used by the application. To make these servers part of your application, you simply ‘promote’ servers into the application. Agent-less Monitoring Even though the PinPoint server agents are very lightweight (Nano-Agent™ Technology), not all servers are candidates for agents. This version introduces agent-less monitoring. The PinPoint analysis engine manages the agent-less servers and gathers the metrics using standard monitoring protocols. Agent-less monitoring are typically used for your domain controllers, your exchange servers, or any windows servers that you wish to keep agent free. Exchange, Outlook Monitoring Monitoring your Outlook clients when running under Citrix server just got easier. The Citrix agent will detect the Outlook users and monitors the Outlook round trip time. Use this to better understand how one of your primary applications in your organization is performing. Application Query Analysis Now you can monitor the SQL server ODBC queries generated from your application. You measure these from the application server or from the SQL server. This Extended Data report shows you the number of ODBC queries, the query performance, and the amount of data collected from each query. This gives application owners a better understanding of application performance and the ability to derive root cause information about the database. Enterprise grade scalability The PinPoint analysis engine has been optimized and tuned to support very large application server farms making it easy to monitor the performance of business critical applications in an enterprise datacenter.
