The Citrix Server graph (**ANALYZE > Citrix > Graphs > Server Graph**) lets you compare [Citrix Performance Measurement](/performanceguard/i-want-to-know/i-want-to-know-if-citrix-works-ok/citrix-performance-measurement/) session quality data with other types of session quality data, network application data, or against usage counters (CPU, memory, context switches, ...).

1. Select required **Citrix server**. Then select required Citrix domain and required ICA Clients (either all clients or clients at a particular location or network).
2. Then select the data sets that you want to cover in the graph. You can specify a **Primary Type** data set as well as an optional **Secondary Type** data set. With two data sets, you are able to compare different data, for example latency and response time. Primary and secondary data set types are described in more detail in the following.
3. Select the required **Interval** (that is the period of time that you want to cover). If the predefined intervals don't suit you, select **Custom** to [Custom Time Periods on Graphs](/performanceguard/analyze/custom-time-periods-on-graphs/).
4. The samples in the graph will by default be **Automatic**. If you don't want this you can select **Connect All**

   or set them to **Disconnect All**

<summary>Is performance good or bad?</summary>

That depends on the type of work that you do in your organization, but you can often follow our **[I Want to Know if Performance Is Good or Bad](/performanceguard/i-want-to-know/i-want-to-know-if-performance-is-good-or-bad/)**.

# **Primary Type**

The **Primary Type** data set can be one of the explicitly measured quality values (Latency, Round Trip, Band with, etc.). Alternatively, it can be an implicit value, such as the number of sessions or one of the usage counters.

Note that the number of types available will change depending on the type of the selected Citrix server (All, groups of servers or single servers can be selected).

# **Secondary Type**

The **Secondary Type** data set can—in addition to the types for the primary data set—also represent application data.

If you select **Application data**, three new selection options appear: **Application data type**, **Server** and **Port**.

Make your selections in the same way as when selecting values for a basic time view graph: That is servers and ports are limited to the server and ports that are currently being monitored.

Note that the number of types available will change depending on the type of the selected Citrix server (All, groups of servers or single servers can be selected).
