Introduction to MonitorIT 11 MonitorIT from Goliath Technologies is ushering in a new paradigm in managing the complexity in
XenApp and XenDesktop environments. The solution has been architected based on the input from
customers, technology and service provider partners like Citrix as well as integrators. We have listened to
the difficulties they all have managing virtual desktop environments, specifically XenApp and XenDesktop,
and the limited management tools available to them.
MonitorIT 11 delivers significant proactive monitoring and troubleshooting enhancements for the users of
Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop. The solution now gives greater clarity and understanding to IT
professionals tasked with delivering end-user experiences through XenApp and XenDesktop, by enabling
new drill down and correlation enhancements which link applications/user/server performance. XenApp
and XenDesktop which allows quickly pinpoints points of failure, enables quick troubleshooting and

Check the box to ‘Synchronize XenApp Farm Membership Automatically’ This will enable MonitorIT to automatically discover new XenApp Servers in the Farm, add them to MonitorIT’s inventory, and apply the XenApp Health Check Rules. Note: For MSPs, it is suggested to not choose this option. If you have organized your XenApp Servers into groups by customer, as opposed to farm, then this will organize those servers OUT of the groups. 6. Select the ‘Save’ button to close 7. Finally, Go to ‘Manage Agents’ and deploy agents to the XenApp Farm member servers in order for the automated MonitorIT Health Check to ensure XenApp’s uptime and availability. 8.

Version 11.0 – August 2013 VI.
Appendix: The supplement will guide you step-‐by-‐step through the process of manually deploying Windows Agents, Linux/Unix Agents, configuring the plug-‐in for Citrix XenCenter & VMware vCenter, and how to connect to a remote database. A. Manual Windows Agent Install Note: When deploying agents into a different domain for the first time, you cannot ‘Push’ out agents from the MonitorIT Server. You MUST first manually deploy a single agent using either the ‘Pull Down’ or ‘Command Line’ agent installation functionality. After successfully deploying the first agent, you can then use that agent to automatically ‘Push’ out agents to the remaining servers/workstations within that domain. ‘Pull-‐Down’ Agent Installation 1. Open Internet Explorer using ‘Run as Administrator’ on the local Windows server/workstation to manually deploy an agent 2. Enter the URL: ‘http://MITServerIPAddress/InstallAgent.exe’ (replacing ‘MITServerIP Address’ with the IP address for the MonitorIT Server) Note: Before continuing with the Agent Installation: 21 MonitorIT 11 Installation Guide
•
It is recommended to add the MonitorIT Server’s IP Address as a ‘Trusted Site’ from the ‘Internet Options’ on the local machine prior to pulling down the agent files If you have security (User Name/Password) enabled on the MonitorIT Application, you will be prompted to authenticate after launching ‘http://MITServerIPAddress/InstallAgent.exe’. You will then need to re-‐launch the ‘Install Agent’ URL to pull down the agent files and successfully install. 3. You will be prompted for the installation – accept all requests. 4. Once the name and folder options are complete, you will be prompted to confirm the download of the MIT Agent software. Press the ‘OK’ button and the MIT Agent software will be downloaded and installed. ‘Command-‐Line’ Agent Installation 1. Copy the following files from the ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\MonitorIT\Agent\Windows’ folder to ‘C:\Program Files\MonitorIT’ on the server/workstation you want to monitor: •
•
•
•
•
•
RpmAgent.exe AgentService.exe AgentEvents.dll MISNMP.dll Powershellobjects1.dll Powershellobjects1m.dll 2. Next open command prompt (you must use ‘RunAsAdmin’ on Windows 2008) and perform the following commands: i.
cd C:\Program Files\MonitorIT
ii.
AgentService.exe –i arg1 82 “C:\Program
Files\MonitorIT\RpmAgent.exe arg2”
• arg1: MonitorIT Server IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.100) so the Agent knows where to connect • 82: This is the default port on which MonitorIT listens for Agents. • arg2: (OPTIONAL) The name that the Agent uses for this server/workstation when it connects and registers with the MIT Server For example: AgentService.exe –i 192.168.1.100 82 “C:\Program
Files\MonitorIT\RpmAgent.exe” 3. Start the MonitorIT Agent Service. From the command prompt: AgentService.exe –s
There is no need to reboot the server. The MIT Agent will automatically attempt connection to the MIT Server after about a 30 second delay. Once the MIT Agent connects, it will automatically register. B. MIT Linux/Unix Agent Install The Linux/Unix Agent is platform agnostic across all Linux/Unix variations including Solaris, HP-‐UX, IBM and AIX. For Fedora Core, run the following command: yum install java For Debian Core, run the following command: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre 22 MonitorIT 11 Installation Guide
Version 11.0 – August 2013 Install Steps 1. In the ‘MIT Server Install Path > MonitorIT\Bin’ folder, find and copy the two files, 'MITAgent.jar' and ‘MonitorItAgentStart.jar’ to a folder of your choice on the Linux/Unix Server, for example ‘/opt/MIT’ 2. Open the command prompt from the directory where you copied the files: nohup /FullyQualifiedPathToTheInstalledJava/bin/java -cp
MonitorITAgentStart.jar AgentStart -s MITIPAddress -p 82 &
For example, to connect back to MIT server at 192.168.1.100 when the java program is located at ‘/usr/bin’ the installation command would be: nohup /usr/bin/java -cp MonitorITAgentStart.jar AgentStart -s
192.168.1.100 -p 82 &
3. Put the command in your ‘rc.local’ file or equivalent so the Agent will run on start-‐up. 4. If your ‘rc.local’ file is located in ‘/etc’ you would perform the following commands from the console command prompt: 5. Open the ‘rc.local’ file to edit: vi /etc/rc.local 6. Find the last line in the file and append the install command used earlier by using the ‘vi’ insert command: i 7. Using the example from earlier, where the agent files are located at ‘/opt/MIT’ and the MIT server is located at 192.168.1.100, you would enter: nohup /usr/bin/java -cp /opt/MIT/MonitorITAgentStart.jar
AgentStart -s 192.168.1.100 -p 82 &
8. Click the Esc key to exit insert mode, and enter the command to save and close: wq! 9. Once the Agent is installed, you will be able to subsequently update it remotely from the central MIT Server display called 'Manage Agents' available in ‘Configure > Servers/Agents & Devices’ 23 MonitorIT 11 Installation Guide

You can only install the plug-‐in once to a particular vCenter and trying to install subsequent times will cause vCenter to return an error. 8. Once the install is completed, a Success dialog will be presented and you can exit the wizard. Now launch the vSphere Client and connect to vCenter to see the new tab labeled ‘MonitorIT’ which displays the full MonitorIT Client. You can optionally go back to the Home screen and launch MonitorIT in full screen from the Administration section. E. Connecting to a Remote SQL Server In this section, we will review the procedure for connecting to a Remote SQL Server Instance from the Installer. Attach the database 1. Move the MonitorIT.mdf file to the SQL Server Data repository. 2. Open SQL Server Management Studio 3. Right click on Databases and choose ‘Attach’ 26 MonitorIT 11 Installation Guide
