In the recent past,
We noticed that many users are complaining about latency and the overall
quality. We are thinking the bandwidth could be an issue. What is the best way
to analyze the Citrix Bandwidth?

The best way to do
this is to get the Audio Bandwidth metric onto the User Experience Dashboard as
an additional metric. There are couple of necessary steps that will
accomplish this. Here are the steps:Navigate to the Admin menu and
select “Settings->Monitor"On the left panel, select “Configured
Measures”Then, at the top right, click on “Add New Measure”From here, select
the User Type. This corresponds to what type of connections are showing in the
dashboard. For example, XenApp, or Horizon VDI, or Nutanix VDI. Select Test
Table and then select test= "Citrix Users in Session", measure=
"Audio bandwidth output"UpdateNavigate back to the Citrix/VDI User
Experience Dashboard and click on the More Options icon on the top right: From
here, check the box next to the Audio Bandwidth metrics you want to see. Then
update. You can drag and drop the metric to rearrange the metrics from inside
this "More Options" window.

This is helpful,
and we were actually able to find that audio was consuming lot of bandwidth for
many users. Is there a way to see the audio bandwidth for all my Citrix users
on one screen?

For Virtual Apps
connections, navigate to the server layer view inside eG. There is a layer
called “Citrix Users”. From there, look at each user under “Citrix Users in
Session”.For Virtual Desktops, navigate to the host, then the layer “Inside
View of Desktops” From there, look in “Desktop’s HDX Channel”.Inside the
metrics pane on the right, there will be breakdowns of the HDX or Citrix
channel. It shows what type of data is using the most bandwidth so you
can determine if it is caused by PrinterAudioDrivesFlash and others.
