Comment on Headless Edgesight: Using Stored procedures to have key metrics emailed to you. by Sam Jacobs

I would *hope* that views would persist from version to version, but Citrix has done much stranger things.
I submitted for BriForum Europe … didn’t make it, but I’ll still be submitting for Chicago… you?

Best,
Sam

I used a customer site for this instance and it is version 5.2, is there a chance it was upgraded and the new veiw was not set up?

I would have to believe if it is in 5.2 it would be in 5.3 right?

Good to hear from you again, did you submit for Briforum?

Take care

Hi John,

I always look forward to your informative column … just a quick question …
What ES version are the above stored procedures written for?
I don’t seem to have a view called “vw_ctrx_archive_service_state” in my ES 5.3 deployment.

Thanks,
Sam

This query runs of the view ctrx_archive_system_perf. The view runs most of its items off the table ctrx_system_perf. If you run this query:

SELECT     ctrx_system_perf.instid, ctrx_system_perf.dtperiod, ctrx_system_perf.dtid, ctrx_system_perf.inserted_date, 
                      ctrx_system_perf.i1 AS active_sessions_sum, ctrx_system_perf.i2 AS active_sessions_cnt, ctrx_system_perf.i3 AS active_sessions_peak, 
                      ctrx_system_perf.i4 AS inactive_sessions_sum, ctrx_system_perf.i5 AS inactive_sessions_cnt, ctrx_system_perf.i6 AS inactive_sessions_peak, 
                      ctrx_system_perf.i7 AS total_sessions_sum, ctrx_system_perf.i8 AS total_sessions_cnt, ctrx_system_perf.i9 AS total_sessions_peak, 
                      machine.name
FROM         ctrx_system_perf INNER JOIN
                      instance ON ctrx_system_perf.instid = instance.instid INNER JOIN
                      machine ON instance.machid = machine.machid
ORDER BY active_sessions_peak DESC

and check the column that is called “active_sessions_peak” you can see that there will be one or two columns that will have numbers totally out of whack, either much much higher, or much much lower than the rest of the cells in that column. In the past I had a column that had over 10 million active sessions. You can alternatively order by inactive_sessions_peak to see if there are any columns that look incorrect here too. You can change this cell in the query result window to 0 and re run the query and your report should look better.

*This is a bug inside of how edgesight writes to the database. I have do not have info on how edgesight writes data to the table and will not provide support for editing the edgesight tables. Edit at your own risk.

Love this report , its like seeing resource manager, we have a PS4, XenApp 6 Farm and are seeing some strange results.

for Example -2147481843 and also -268,432,017.8 within the normal sort of numbers we would expect.

not sure why its displaying this figures,as these are in the middle of the night, when the farm should be quieter.
