Resource Manager Web Interface

It's no secret that the resource manager summary database, while robust and filled with wholesome goodness, can be a pain in the ass to deal with. It's gotten better with the introduction of report center in PS3 and PS4, but it's still pretty basic. On several occasions, I've asked Citrix about this, and the response has always been, "It's all there, just write a query."

Fair enough, but if you're like me you don't really have time to devote to doing sql and asp.net development just to provide some useful metrics to some assclown manager. Fortunately if your name happens to the Jason Conger, you're nothing like me. In fact, I would wager that you're a fair bit smarter because this is exactly what Jason has done.

Enter Web Interface for Resource Manager. Just like it sounds - it's an easy way to pull meaningful data from the RM Summary Database and display it in a simple graphical format. Wow. Truly a deeper shade of soul.

Just to be fair, one of the managers at Citrix did author a similar tool a couple years back that was asp based. It's good, but it's not on the level with Jason's. I think it can still be downloaded from the Citrix website if you want to compare.

J turned me on to his website at www.jasonconger.com. Kudos to JC for a job well done. He's got some other cool toys for you MFCom code junkies out there too.
