3 Touch and hold the desktop or application name until the context menu appears.
4 Tap Reset in the context menu.
Reset is available only if the status of the desktop or application is such that the action can be taken.
When you reset a remote desktop, the operating system in the remote desktop reboots and
Horizon Client disconnects and logs off from the desktop. When you reset remote applications, the
applications quit.
What to do next
Wait an appropriate amount of time for system startup before attempting to reconnect to the remote
desktop or application.
Collecting and Sending Logging Information to VMware
You can configure Horizon Client to collect log information and send log files to VMware for
troubleshooting.
If Horizon Client quits unexpectedly while log collection is enabled, Horizon Client prompts you to send
log files to VMware when you restart Horizon Client.
If you choose to send log files to VMware, Horizon Client sends a message from the email account
configured on the client device and attaches a GZ file that contains the last five log files. The file name
contains a time stamp, for example, Horizon_View_Client_logs_timestamp.log.gz.
You can also manually retrieve and send log files at any time.
Enable Horizon Client Log Collection
When you enable log collection, Horizon Client creates log files that contain information that can help
VMware troubleshoot problems with Horizon Client.
Because log collection affects the performance of Horizon Client, enable log collection only if you are
experiencing a problem.
Prerequisites
Verify that an email account is configured on the device. Horizon Client uses this email account to send
log files.
