CTXLogging Now With Support For Citrix StoreFront

Fri, 12 Feb 2016 00:00:00 +0000

My PowerShell module to control logging of various Citrix components is now available in version 0.3. With it comes support to control Citrix StoreFront tracing.

If you have to troubleshoot Citrix StoreFront your first stop should be the “Citrix Delivery Services” event log. You will see tons of information there if something goes wrong. But if this is not enough, you can enable StoreFront tracing. This will produce several log files in C:\Program Files\Citrix\Receiver StoreFront\Admin\Trace.

My PowerShell module to control logging of various Citrix components is now available in version 0.2. With it comes support to control Citrix Receiver logging.

Citrix Receiver is not a single piece of software. Instead it consists of multiple components. You are able to control the logging of three components: General, Authentication Manager and SelfService-PlugIn. Logging of all components is disabled by default and is controlled by registry keys. More information is available here: CTX132883.

Community PowerShell Module - CTXLogging

When it comes to troubleshooting the communication between Citrix XenDesktop 7.x VDA and Controller you have to enable the logging of both components. Citrix once had a tool for this, the “Log Enabler Tool”. It seems that Citrix dropped the development on that tool as it is only supported for XenDesktop 5.x. Read about it here and here. Instead you have to edit config files manually - no one should edit config files manually. That is why I wrote the PowerShell module CTXLogging to automate the process.
