Monitoring Your Horizon
Environment 1
When you install the vRealize Operations for Horizon solution, precongured Horizon dashboards and
predened Horizon report templates appear in the vRealize Operations Manager user interface. You can use
these Horizon-specic dashboards and reports along with the standard vRealize Operations Manager object
monitoring features to monitor your Horizon environment.

Using the Horizon Dashboards
The Horizon dashboards are in the Horizon group in the Dashboard List menu in the
vRealize Operations Manager user interface.
Most Horizon dashboards contain at least one master (or providing) widget and several receiving widgets.
Master widgets provide data to receiving widgets, and receiving widgets update the data they display
depending on the information they receive from master widgets.
The widgets on the Horizon dashboards are created from standard vRealize Operations Manager widgets. If
your user account has the necessary access rights, you can modify the Horizon dashboards and widgets or
create your own Horizon dashboards.
For information about creating and modifying dashboards and customizing widgets, see the
vRealize Operations Manager Customization and Administration Guide.
Introducing the Horizon Dashboards
You can use the precongured Horizon dashboards to monitor the performance of your Horizon
environment.
