For 64 bit VDA’s:
Navigate to: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\HdxMediaStreamForFlash\Server
For 32 bit VDA’s:
Navigate to: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\HdxMediaStreamForFlash\Server

The logs generated do not contain the URL information. To enable collecting the URL information administrators have to enable the following registry key
