View Pod Federation Health in View Administrator
View constantly monitors the health of the pod federation by checking the health of each pod and View
Connection Server instances in those pods. You can view the health of a pod federation in View
Administrator.
You can also view the health of a pod federation from the command line by using the vdmadmin command
with the -H option. For information about vdmadmin syntax, see the View Administration document.
NOTE View event databases are not shared across pods in a pod federation.
Procedure
u
In View Administrator, select Inventory > Dashboard.
The Remote Pods section in the System Health pane lists all pods, their member View Connection Server
instances, and the known health status for each View Connection Server instance.
A green health icon indicates that the View Connection Server instance is online and available for the Cloud
Pod Architecture feature. A red health icon indicates that the View Connection Server instance is offline or
the Cloud Pod Architecture feature cannot connect to the View Connection Server instance to confirm its
availability.
View Desktop Sessions in a Pod Federation
You can use View Administrator to search for and view desktop sessions across the pod federation.
You can search for desktop sessions by user, pod, or brokering pod. The user is the end-user that is logged
in to the desktop, the pod is the pod on which the desktop is hosted, and the brokering pod is the pod to
which the user was connected when the desktop was first allocated.
