Tips for Using the Horizon RDS Pools Dashboard
n
The colored rectangles in the RDS Hosts, RDS Desktop Sessions, and Application Sessions widgets
represent particular objects. For example, in the RDS Hosts widget, each rectangle represents a
particular RDS host. You can point to a rectangle to view basic information about its associated object.
n
The size of the rectangle indicates the value of one metric, the color of the rectangle indicates the value
of another metric, and the widget configuration determines which metric values the widget shows. For
example, if you select Sized by Workload - Colored by Health from the Configuration drop-down
menu, rectangles are sized according to the value of the workload metric and are colored according to
the value of the health metric. Red indicates a low value and green indicates the high end of the value
range.
n
Use the Top-N Analysis widgets for RDS hosts to view the RDS hosts that use the most CPU processor
time and have the highest number of committed bytes in use, disk transfers per second, and bytes sent
per second. Use the Top-N Analysis widgets for RDS desktop and application sessions to view the
sessions that have the highest latency, transmission bandwidth, transmission packet loss, and session
logon times. Viewing the extreme performers in any category can help you to assess the overall
performance of your environment.
Horizon Applications Dashboard
Use the Horizon Applications dashboard to view the status and performance of application pools and their
associated farms, RDS hosts, application sessions, application instances, and application users. The Horizon
Applications dashboard is specific to Horizon with Horizon 6.1 and later environments.
NOTE You can hide dashboards that are not relevant to your Horizon environment. For information about
configuring dashboards, see the vRealize Operations Manager documentation.
