vRealize Operations for Published Applications Desktop Agent
The vRealize Operations for Published Applications desktop agent runs as a service on the XenDesktop
Delivery Controller on each XenDesktop Session host server, Licence server, RDS host, Store Front server,
and on all the VDI machines.
The desktop agent monitors Citrix ICA sessions and HDX sessions and applications launched in the Citrix
ICA and HDX sessions by using standard functions and APIs of Windows OS. The desktop agent
periodically collects the Citrix ICA sessions' data on properties and performance, and sends the data to the
adapter using a secure connection.
