Cdfmonitor is a customizable multipurpose utility that listens to specified CDF module trace messages and triggers an event based on a provided Regular Expression pattern match. This tool can also launch a specified command based on a pattern match, send an SMTP message, zip files, run as a service, and FTP to site when a match occurs.
This utility is completely stand-alone and does not require the enablement of any CDF tracing/logging outside of the utility for the utility to work. When the utility is launched, it creates a classic ETW controller and consumer session to register for specified module or modules. The flags are hard coded to level 16 and trace consumer is set to real-time as compared to an output file. More info at CDFMonitor (citrix.com)
Scheduling a CDF tracing is required when issue occurs at a certain time, for example during reboot schedule or at some random time between certain periods, for example when a user clicks a particular option in a published application. In either situation or probably more, you may or may not be available to capture CDF traces using CDFMonitor, CDFControl or Citrix Scout. Thankfully, with the help of Windows Task Scheduler, it is possible to schedule CDF tracing using either CDFMonitor or CDFControl.
Citrix Scout doesn’t require Task Scheduler to schedule CDF tracing.
Download CDFControl and CDFMonitor separately or download them as part of Citrix Supportability Pack. CSP is a collection of 41 tools that helps diagnose and troubleshoot Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.
