Congure the broker agent. See “Congure the vRealize Operations for Published Applications Broker

Configure the vRealize Operations for Published Applications Broker Agent
After you install the broker agent, you use the Broker Agent Conguration wizard to congure the broker
agent on the Citrix XenDesktop Delivery Controller where you installed the broker agent. You can also use
the Broker Agent Conguration wizard to make changes to your broker agent conguration.
A check box in the Broker Agent Setup wizard controls whether the Broker Agent Conguration wizard
opens immediately after you install the broker agent. This check box is selected by default.
During broker agent conguration, you pair the broker agent with a
vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter instance. Pairing the broker agent with a
vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter instance is a necessary authentication step that
enables the broker agent and desktop agents to communicate with the
vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter. The broker agent and desktop agents cannot
communicate with the vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter until the pairing process is
complete.
If you are monitoring multiple XenDesktop Sites, you can pair the broker agent installed in each Site with
the same vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter instance as long as the total number of
desktops that the vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter instance handles does not exceed
10,000.
Each time you restart the broker agent service, a new log le is created.
If a log le was created for the day and the broker agent is restarted on that day, a new log le is created.
The name of the new log le is v4pa_brokeragent_svc_<date>_00.log, and the log rotation follows this
series.
