The Citrix Diagnostic Toolkit is a rapid deployment platform that delivers a suite of tools and automation options in an easy to use structured format that closely resembles the look and feel of any standard Windows application, even though each tool is an independent standalone application. The easy to use built in menus and shortcuts allow you to quickly and effectively configure multi-vector data collection and integrate third party tools for more robust and comprehensive debugging sessions1.

When using Machine Creation Services, the Delivery Controller must communicate with the configured hosting connection (such as VMware, Hyper-V, Citrix Hypervisor, Nutanix AHV). This communication enables provisioning, power management, and information retrieval from the hypervisor.

Citrix documentation defines the Citrix Host Service as the Delivery Controller service responsible for:

Managing hypervisor connections

Sending provisioning and power-action commands

Communicating with hosting infrastructure APIs

Initiating VM creation and updates for MCS catalogs

The Citrix Broker Service manages session brokering, not hypervisor communication.

The Citrix Environment Test Service focuses on diagnostics.

“Citrix Hypervisor Service” is not a Citrix Delivery Controller service.

Therefore, the correct service enabling Controller-to-hypervisor communication is the Citrix Host Service.
