With the release of Feature Pack 2, the EdgeSight team has made some updates to both EdgeSight and EdgeSight for Load Testing. The key updates include;

EdgeSight 5.2 (for XenApp, Endpoints, and Virtual Desktops):

• Additional support for XenDesktop - Farm-wide monitoring and troubleshooting of virtual and physical desktops
• Support for the latest Citrix Receiver - Service Monitoring plug-in
• Microsoft Systems Center Operation Manager (MS SCOM) Support - Management pack connector
• Additional Operating System support - Windows 7
• New summary reports - XenApp, XenDesktop

EdgeSight for Load Testing 3.6:

• Service-based architecture - Easier to manage and does not require logged-in users for running the launchers
• Enhanced application security - When replaying scripts, allows for a basic level of authentication
• Intelligent Load Control - Ability to sense script execution & delays, and adjust accordingly (Introduced in 3.5)
• Xen Counters - Exposure of performance issues when XenApp is running on XenServer (Introduced in 3.5)

I've recorded a short video which gives a little more detail and a few screenshots in regards to the new EdgeSight functionality which you can find at http://www.citrix.com/tv/#videos/1164. In addition, there is a short ESLT 3.5 video from a month or so ago detailing those new features which is available at http://www.citrix.com/tv/#videos/666
