Miss qfarm command?

After upgrade to 7.x, the famous qfarm command gone.

Qfarm was a nice tool to check health and load on all farm XenApp servers:

In 7.x server load is replaced with loadindex. Default Citrix loadindex only check number of users. I will recommend to also set this citrix policy:

To check loadindex, it can be done in Studio, Director and with PowerShell.

Studio

1. Add new columns with Load Index
   .
   
2. Last columns will now show the load as you normal see in qfarm.
   .
   

Director

After login, choose Trends i top bar and then Load Evaluator Index

PowerShell

Add function inside a PS module that will load automatically and qfarm command is back 🙂

function qfarm
{
    if(!(Get-PSSnapin | Where-Object {$_.name -Like '*citrix*'}))
    {
        Add-PSSnapin citrix*
    } 
    
    Get-BrokerMachine -AdminAddress servername.domain.local  –SessionSupport MultiSession –Property ‘HostedMachineName’,’LoadIndex’,’SessionCount’, 'InMaintenanceMode'

}
