Diagnose historical user sessions [Preview]

Citrix Monitor now displays the details of sessions in active, disconnected, or in terminated state. Previously, you could see the details of active sessions only. With this feature, helpdesk admins can troubleshoot issues with a session that was ended or in terminated state. The details for ended sessions are available for last 24 hours and last 2 days. You can view the following details of an ended or terminated session:

  • Machine Details panel - Displays the available details of the machine where the selected session was launched
  • Session Details panel - Displays the available details of the selected session.
  • Session logon duration - Displays the information on the logon duration taken for the selected session. You can view the chart on time taken for brokering, machine start-up, hdx connection, authentication, GPOs, logon scripts, profile load on disk, and interactive session

This feature is available only Citrix Director customers with Citrix Analytics and Performance entitlement.
