How can an administrator enable monitoring of application failures on Desktop OS VDA machines?

• A. By installing an Application Probe Agent on the Desktop OS VDA machines
• B. By entering a PowerShell command on a Delivery Controller
• C. By upgrading to premium licenses
• D. By configuring a Citrix policy

Answer: (B)

Centralized control from the Delivery Controller is used to enable monitoring across all Desktop OS VDA machines. By running a PowerShell command on the Delivery Controller, you activate the application-failure monitoring feature for the entire site, and the VDAs report their failure data back to the controller. This approach is efficient because it configures a single point of management that applies to all VDAs without installing anything on each machine. Choosing this method avoids the need to deploy an Application Probe Agent on every Desktop OS VDA, which adds deployment work and ongoing maintenance. Licensing level and policies can influence what features you have access to, but they don’t by themselves enable monitoring across the environment the way a targeted PowerShell command on the Delivery Controller does. Once enabled, the system can collect and surface failure data for analysis and troubleshooting, leveraging the existing Citrix monitoring/telemetry pipeline.
