Install Citrix Director

Citrix Director
is a web-based tool that allows IT support and Help Desk teams to monitor the environment, troubleshoot issues, and perform support tasks for the end users. You can use a single
Citrix Director
deployment to connect and monitor multiple
Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops
sites.
Ensure that the virtual machine is on
sddc-cgw-citrix-mgmt
network with a static IP and domain assigned to the network.
Citrix Director
displays:
  • Real-time session data from the broker service in the
    Citrix Delivery Controller
    , which includes data that the broker service receives from the broker agent in the
    Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops
    .
  • Historical site data from the Monitor Service in the
    Citrix Delivery Controller
    .
The
Citrix Director
uses the ICA performance and the heuristic data captured by the Citrix Gateway device to build analytics from the data and present it to the administrators.
