Backup & Virtualization

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

Machine catalogs, delivery groups, and live sessions sync into the CMDB as VirtualDesktop CIs; Director session failures open incidents. Session logoff/reset is on the roadmap, not available in this release.

What it does

  • Machine, delivery group, and session data → a VirtualDesktop CI, its delivery group + machine catalog, and live session_state
  • Director session-failure events → incident, with failure category driving severity (license/capacity exhaustion is high; machine failure or registration timeout is medium; connection issues are low)
  • One adapter, two control planes: Citrix Cloud REST API or on-prem Studio/Director — chosen per instance
  • 5-minute default poll cadence
  • Session logoff / profile reset / delivery-group drain is declared in the manifest for the roadmap view; no implementation ships in this release

Data residency

Citrix Cloud's control plane is operated by Citrix (US/EU/APAC regions) while your VDAs and sessions stay on your own infrastructure — resident data is split, hence hybrid.

Event mappings

What you configure

  • Control plane: Citrix Cloud or on-prem Studio/Director
  • Cloud: customer ID + optional regional API base URL
  • On-prem: Studio/Director base URL + optional site ID
  • Secret reference (client credentials or service-account secret, stored as a secret)

Setup overview

Choose Citrix Cloud or on-prem Studio/Director, supply the connection coordinates, and store the credential as a secret. Session-failure incidents and CI sync both run on the 5-minute poll.
