Performance ICA Alarms
ICA performance counters relate to the performance of Citrix ICA sessions. Using this category on the Roles page Alarms tab, you can configure yellow and red level alarms for the ICA performance counters.
In the example alarm configuration called out below, if Input Audio Bandwidth is 10 Mbps or higher for 120 seconds a Yellow level alarm is triggered. If Input Session Bandwidth is 120 Mbps or higher for 240 seconds a Red level alarm is triggered. If either level of alarm is triggered a Notification will be sent. No Action will be taken for a Red level alarm.
NOTE: An alarm that passes through a Yellow state and achieves a Red state is considered to be in both Yellow and Red alarm status until the condition value is within the limits.
The following table defines each of the ICA performance alarms.

Configure Performance ICA Alarms
- Select the check box to the left of the Performance: ICA category to apply the same configuration to the individual alarms.
- To change a Limit, or Timevalue, click the value, then enter the updated value.
- Depending on the alarm, selecting a check box to the left of an alarm, will generate an alarm when the value is either above or below the configured Limit for the specified time period. If this box is unchecked, then the SysTrack Agent will ignore the limit thresholds – no alarm will be generated (although the Agent will still continue to track data for this setting).
- Select a Notification profile to use for the alarm notification settings that will be followed when the alarm is triggered.
- Select a Time Window for the alarm.
- Select an Action profile to use when the alarm is triggered.
- Click the Save Changes button on the top right of the Roles page to save your changes.
