Citrix Hypervisor

Supported OS Linux Mac OS Windows

Integration version3.2.0

Overview

This check monitors Citrix Hypervisor through the Datadog Agent.

Setup

Follow the instructions below to install and configure this check for an Agent running on a host. For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery Integration Templates for guidance on applying these instructions.

Installation

The Citrix Hypervisor check is included in the Datadog Agent package. No additional installation is needed on your server.
The recommended way to monitor Citrix hypervisors is to install one Datadog Agent on each hypervisor.

Datadog user

The Citrix Hypervisor integration requires a user with at least read-only access to monitor the service.

Configuration

Host

Edit the citrix_hypervisor.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory to start collecting your Citrix Hypervisor performance data. See the sample citrix_hypervisor.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.
Restart the Agent.

Log collection

Available for Agent versions >6.0

Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. Enable it in datadog.yaml:
```
logs_enabled: true
```
Add this configuration block to your citrix_hypervisor.d/conf.yaml file to start collecting your Citrix Hypervisor logs:
```
logs:
- type: file
  path: /var/log/xensource.log
  source: citrix_hypervisor
```
Change the path value and configure it for your environment. See the sample citrix_hypervisor.d/conf.yaml file for all available configuration options.
Restart the Agent.

Validation

Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for citrix_hypervisor under the Checks section.
