Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent with your virtualized Citrix environment and your entire network.
Your XenServer environment is only as good as your visibility into its performance. Without proper monitoring, bandwidth bottlenecks and VM outages can catch you off guard. Paessler PRTG gives you complete visibility into your XenServer hosts and virtual machines, helping you solve potential issues before they affect users.
PRTG delivers precise server health and performance monitoring for every host server in your Citrix XenServer environment – from Microsoft Windows servers to Linux hardware and other operating systems.
View CPU load, memory usage, and other key metrics from your XenServer host. Keep tabs on storage throughput, manage nodes, and maintain a stable IT infrastructure without the headaches.
Filter out the fluff for faster response times. Set your preferred warning and error thresholds, receive instant notifications, and tackle issues quickly, whether there's a CPU spike or a crowded resource pool.
Integrate with favorite apps, trigger actions via CLI, or get an SMS or email – just the way you prefer. Only essential alerts reach you, so you can stop fretting over every IP address blip.
Skip tedious manual changes. PRTG's prebuilt sensors and device templates, simple dialogs, and smart automation handle repetitive tasks.
Install PRTG with a few clicks and let the automatic network discovery find your Xen instances and add them to your monitoring setup, including the preconfigured sensors you need to monitor your Citrix hypervisors, XenServer hosts, and virtual machines.
Even XenServer needs occasional backups. With PRTG, you can check to make sure the XenServer backup has been completed, even if the backup takes place in the middle of the night.
PRTG’s sophisticated sensors also keep a constant eye on XenServer’s system messages. Ensure that your log files are in order and that you are alerted to critical system events such as unauthorized access or other suspicious activity.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking the availability, health, and performance of your XenServer hypervisors and host servers. Show CPU and memory usage, bandwidth utilization, I/O operations, latency, cluster health, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot performance issues with your virtualized Citrix environment and your entire network.

Your environment grows fast – PRTG grows faster. When you add virtual machines, shift workloads into the cloud, or expand your on-premises infrastructure, PRTG scales along with you.
Add cluster nodes, expand your configuration, and maintain stable resource pools without breaking a sweat. No growing pains, just seamless scaling.
Your XenServer setup doesn't exist in isolation, and neither should your monitoring. PRTG integrates with Active Directory, SaaS applications, and, if you configure SNMP and load the respective MIB files, with basically every device that exists in your network.
With a single pane of glass to look through, this unified approach simplifies network management, cuts complexity, and gives you end-to-end visibility of your entire network.
Don't just react to problems; anticipate them. Custom thresholds and targeted let you solve issues before they escalate.
With SSL support, secure authentication, and IP address tracking, you'll keep XenServer stable, secure, and always under control.
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The Citrix XenServer Host sensor monitors a Xen host server via HTTP. It can show the following:
The Citrix XenServer Virtual Machine sensor monitors a virtual machine (VM) on a XenServer via HTTP. It can show the following:
The SNMP Nutanix Cluster Health sensor monitors the status and the performance of a Nutanix cluster. It can show the following:
The VMware Host Performance (SOAP) sensor monitors a VMware host server using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). It can show the following and more:
See the PRTG Manual for a list of all available sensor types.
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent with your virtualized Citrix environment and your entire network.
PRTG is set up in a matter of minutes and can be used on a wide variety of mobile devices.

Citrix XenServer is a hypervisor platform developed by Citrix Systems for managing and hosting virtual machines (VMs). It is based on the open-source Xen Project hypervisor and provides enterprise-grade features for virtualization. XenServer allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, enabling efficient resource utilization, scalability, and workload isolation.
XenServer monitoring keeps tabs on the health, performance, and utilization of your entire Citrix XenServer setup – virtual machines, XenServer host, and all related Xen components. Collecting metrics on CPU usage, memory usage, disk I/O, and performance data in real time gives you complete visibility into resource allocation and usage. Spot issues early, ensure smooth authentication, confirm stable resource pools, and maintain robust functionality across the board.
Not a chance. PRTG uses efficient data collection via HTTP, SNMP, and API calls to ensure low overhead. You'll gather performance metrics and performance data without hogging resources or affecting server speed, making your XenCenter environment faster, not slower.
By monitoring Citrix hypervisor health and performance, PRTG catches hiccups early. Smart notifications pop up before critical failures, and you can quickly troubleshoot using collected performance metrics. This way, you'll quickly spot issues, fix them, and get back to a stable XenServer infrastructure.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
Bandwidth, servers, virtual environments, websites, VoIP services – PRTG keeps an eye on your entire network.
