Citrix Xen

Overview

Citrix Xen is a popular virtualization platform used by many organizations to consolidate their IT infrastructure and reduce costs. AIOps product integrates with Citrix Xen to provide comprehensive monitoring and analysis of the virtual environment, including virtual machines, virtual networks, and storage.

Prerequisites for Citrix Xen Integration with Motadata AIOps

  • Provide the necessary credentials, including the username and password, for Motadata AIOps to connect to the Citrix Xen server.

  • Ensure that port 443 is open on the Citrix Xen server for communication.

By meeting these prerequisites, you can integrate Citrix Xen with Motadata AIOps and enable effective monitoring and management of your Citrix Xen environment.
