Hello! This is for my fellow Citrix Admins! We are monitoring our Citrix VDAs as hosts in Dynatrace, and I was wondering what the best practices are. We have our VDAs reboot on a weekly basis, and when they reboot, they create a new host in Dynatrace, and then the previous host just goes offline/becomes unavailable. I feel like there must be a way to create some sort of persistence so that the Citrix VDAs aren't creating new hosts in Dynatrace every week. This also creates a few issues. Firstly, I only have a max of a week of data for each VDA, so I can't look back over a longer period of time to look at performance unless I go to Deployment Status and look through the hundreds upon hundreds of offline VDAs. Second, since a new host is created when the servers reboot, if one of the VDAs doesn't come back online during reboots, it doesn't create a new host, so there is nothing to alert that the VDA is down. We thought about setting up synthetic monitors for each of the VDAs to monitor the servers availability based on DNS name, but that is a lot of extra overhead.
