Introduction
Citrix VDI are virtualization solutions that give IT control of virtual machines, applications, licensing, and security while providing access for any device.
Citrix Virtual Applications and Desktops allow:
- End users to run applications and desktops independently of the device’s operating system and interface.
- Administrators to manage the network and control access from selected devices or all devices.
- Administrators to manage an entire network from a single data center.
Citrix Virtual Applications and Desktops share a unified architecture called FlexCast Management Architecture (FMA). FMA’s key feature is to run multiple versions of Citrix Virtual Applications or Citrix Virtual Desktops from a single site and integrated provisioning.

Discovery Use cases
Discovery Citrix VDI elements delivery groups and machines.
Monitoring Use cases
Using the REST APIs of the Citrix Monitor Service to collect, analyze, and categorize data from Citrix Virtual Applications and Desktops.

Version History
| Application Version | Bug fixes / Enhancements |
|---|---|
| 1.1.0 | This implementation introduces third-party CI alert mapping and OpsQL-based enhancements.Configure alert mappings to target CI systems through the application configuration. After configuration, the system automatically forwards alerts to the corresponding third-party platforms and maps them to the specified CIs, ensuring consistent integration and efficient alert management.Previously, resource filters in the app configuration required manual entry of resource core and custom attributes. With this enhancement, the configuration is moved to OpsQL-based filtering, where users can see the keys auto-populated as needed. |
| 1.0.5 | Enhancements related to Latest snapshot, Activity Log and DebugHandler. |
| 1.0.4 | Metric labels. |
| 1.0.3 | Full discovery Support. |
| 1.0.2 | Alert custom Macros support to the Metric and Component level. |
