Retrieve In-Guest Process Data for Session Objects
You can use the Session Process widget on the Horizon Remote Session Details dashboard to obtain
information about in-guest processes and their resource usage for Horizon session objects.
Session objects include VDI Desktop Session, RDS Desktop Session, and Application Session.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have selected the Horizon Remote Session Details dashboard from the dashboard list.
Procedure
n
For all types of session objects, run the Get Desktop Processes action to retrieve processes run by the
user.
n
For VDI Desktop Session objects only, run the Get Desktop Services action to retrieve processes run by
the system.
NOTE The Get Desktop Services action does not exist for RDS Desktop Session, and Application
Session objects. For these session objects, you must retrieve system process data at the host object level.
What to do next
You can retrieve in-guest process data for host objects. See “Retrieve In-Guest Process Data for Host
Objects,” on page 15.
