Health monitor citrix XTE (tcp/2598)

XTE communication is in binary (encrypted?). I believe it's quite difficult to create a monitor to talk to this port directly.

 

 

As an alternative, you can monitor it using WMI by query-ing the XTE service status (from Win32_Service).

 

 

At this moment, BIGIP doesn't have a built in wmi support but you can build it. For more detailed step, you can go to this link:

In this article, the monitor is for Terminal Server service but you can modify it for XTE.

 

 

Make sure you've tested the solution before implementing in production. Let us know if you need help.
