Metrics include logon time, logon script time, CPU/memory usage, and network connection
speed. Logon Monitor can also receive metrics from other VMware products to provide more
information on the logon process.
Supported Platforms
Logon Monitor supports the same Windows platforms as the Horizon Agent.
Key Features
Logon Monitor provides the following features:
n Installed as part of Horizon Agent. To start the service, see KB 57051.
n Integrates with Horizon Help Desk Tool timing profiler. Logon-related metrics are aggregated
and sent to the Horizon Agent events database.
n Enables customers to upload logs to a file server for easier access.
n Integrates with other VMware products, such as Horizon Persona Management, App Volumes,
UEM, and the
Horizon Agent that send logon-related events to Logon Monitor. Logon Monitor
logs the events as they occur to show the events in the logon flow and how long they are
taking.
n Monitors concurrent logons on the same machine.
Logs
Logon Monitor writes log files for service status messages and for a user session. By default, all log
files are written to C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Logon Monitor\Logs.
n Main Log: The main log file, vmlm.txt, contains all status messages for the vmlm service and
session events that come in before and after monitoring the logon. Check this log to determine
if the Logon Monitor is running correctly.
n Session Log: The session log contains all events related to a user logon session. Events start
in this log when the logon begins and only apply to a single user session. A summary written
at the end of the log provides an overview of the most important metrics. Check this log to
troubleshoot slow logons. When the logon is complete, no further events are written to the
session log.
Logon Monitor Metrics
Logon Monitor computes metrics related to logon, group policy, user profile, and performance.
These metrics provide administrators a detailed view of end user systems during logon time to
help determine the root cause of performance bottlenecks.
