A Real-World Example
08:00 Helpdesk receives a call that application access is slow
09:00
Helpdesk has received many calls that application access is slow. The Citrix
admin is called to look at the issue.
11:00
The Citrix admin has reviewed Director/EdgeSight metrics, has killed the
offending process. But user complaints persist.
12:00
The Citrix admin decides to reboot the server but the problem persists even after
the reboot.
13:00
The problem does not appear to be specific to Citrix. The Citrix admin calls
for a conference call with the other administrators .
17:00 After hours of troubleshooting, the problem is identified in the VMware tier!
