Monitors operational state of Host service on all controllers in satellite zone.
Citrix Host service manages hosts and hypervisor connections. It takes part in catalog creation containing virtual machines and starting/stopping virtual machines.
If Host service is not operational on all controllers in satellite zone, above mentioned functionality may not be available in XenDesktop. But as long as there is operational Host service on at least one controller or failover to primary zone is working, functionality is not broken.
In case Host service is not operational on one or all controllers in satellite zone, alert (Warning) is generated.
Impact if Host service is not operational on all controllers:
Performance may be impacted, due to remote connection to primary zone.
New catalog cannot be created if machine type is one of Pooled or Dedicated.
Machines from catalogs being of machine type - Pooled, Dedicated or Existing - cannot be started and therefore not available to users.
The following configuration parameters are customizable:
IntervalSeconds | The monitoring period for checking health state of Host service on all controllers (the default interval is set to 5 minutes). |
Check alerts related to non operational Host service on specific controllers. First thing to try is to restart the Host service if there is no obvious cause of the problem (e.g. database connection problem).
