Automated Citrix Machine Registration Checks
Every hour, WebRun opens Citrix Cloud, reads the registration state of the machines in each catalog and delivery group, works out how much of each pool can actually take a session, sends an immediate Telegram alert when machines drop out, and posts the full breakdown to Microsoft Teams.
How do I catch Citrix machines that failed to register?
WebRun opens Citrix Cloud every hour and reads the registration state of the machines in each catalog and delivery group. When machines fail to register it sends an immediate Telegram alert with the share of the pool left and posts the full breakdown to Microsoft Teams, before the help desk starts taking calls.
- Unregistered machines are found before users hit them
- The available share of every pool is checked every hour
- Healthy hours stay quiet, so an alert always means action

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it restart or change any machines?
No. WebRun only reads registration state and session counts. It never restarts a machine, puts one into maintenance mode, or changes a delivery group, so nothing in your environment is altered.
Does it alert every hour?
Only when machines have failed to register or a pool has shrunk past your threshold. Healthy hours pass silently, so a Telegram message always means something needs attention.
Are end users told about the problem?
No. Both the Telegram alert and the Teams breakdown are internal to your infrastructure team. WebRun never messages users or posts anything a user would see.
