VPX Web Console Integration

The following plugins have been written using the XenCenter Plugin specification to add a new tab inside XenCenter that displays the web console for Access Gateway, NetScaler and Branch Repeater VPX VMs:

Each plugin works in a similar way. The XML configuration file includes a XenSearch that automatically enables the plugin when the selected, running VM has the correct tag present. The tags for each are pretty straight-forward:

NS VPX = "NetScaler VPX"
AG VPX = "Access Gateway VPX"
BR VPX = "Branch Repeater VPX"

As an example, here is the Access Gateway configuration xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <XenCenterPlugin xmlns="http://www.citrix.com/XenCenter/Plugins/schema" version="2" plugin_version="1.0.0.0">
    <TabPage name="webui-tab" url="https://{$ip_address}:9001" search="967e62a3-45a0-4cc9-b7a7-de941ae754b1" />
    <MenuItem name="ui-menu-item" menu="vm" serialized="none" search="967e62a3-45a0-4cc9-b7a7-de941ae754b1">
      <Shell filename="https://{$ip_address}:9001" />
    </MenuItem>
    <MenuItem name="web-menu-item" menu="help" serialized="none">
      <Shell filename="http://citrix.com/accessgateway" />
    </MenuItem>
    <Search uuid="967e62a3-45a0-4cc9-b7a7-de941ae754b1" name="Access Gateway VPX" major_version="2" minor_version="0" show_expanded="yes">
    <Query>
      <QueryScope>
        <VM />
      </QueryScope>
      <GroupQuery type="And">
        <EnumPropertyQuery property="power_state" equals="yes" query="Running" />
        <StringListContainsQuery property="tags" query="Access Gateway VPX" contains="yes" />
      </GroupQuery>
    </Query>
  </Search>
</XenCenterPlugin>

Here are the resources and configuration files for each of the plugins:
NetScalerVPX.xcplugin.xml
NetScalerVPX.resx
BranchRepeaterVPX.xcplugin.xml
BranchRepeaterVPX.resx
AccessGatewayVPX.xcplugin.xml
AccessGatewayVPX.resx
