Horizon Adapter Self Health Dashboard
Use the Horizon Adapter Self Health dashboard to view health information for
vRealize Operations for Horizon adapters and for the vRealize Operations for Horizon broker agents that
are connected to those adapters. You can also use the Horizon Adapter Status dashboard to verify license
compliance.
The Select Horizon Adapter widget is the master widget for the adapter-related widgets on the dashboard.
When you select an adapter in the Select Horizon Adapter widget, the Horizon Adapter Statistics and
Horizon Adapter Status widgets show data for the adapter that you selected.
The Select Horizon Broker Agent widget is the master widget for the broker agent-related widgets on the
dashboard. When you select a broker agent in the Select Horizon Broker Agent widget, the Horizon Broker
Agent Event DB Collection Statistics, Horizon Broker Agent Metric Collection Statistics, Horizon Broker
Agent Topology Collection Statistics, and Horizon Broker Agent Status widgets show data for the broker
agent that you selected.
Tips for Using the Horizon Adapter Self Health Dashboard
n
Use the Horizon Adapter Status widget to view important metrics for the selected adapter, including
the length of the last collection period, the number of desktops that sent data samples during the last
collection period, and the total number of objects that the adapter received during the last collection
period.
n
Use the Horizon Broker Agent Status widget to view important metrics for the selected broker agent,
including the topology, metric, and database event collection times and the user session, desktop virtual
machine, and database event record counts.
n
Use the License Usage History widget to check license compliance during the past 30 days. This graph
tracks the number of concurrent users connected to the Horizon environment.
n
Use the Active License Alerts widget to view open license alerts associated with the Horizon adapter
that you selected. You can double-click an alert to view information about its possible cause and its
eect on your environment.
n
Horizon collection statistics for the selected broker agent in the Horizon Broker Agent Topology
Collection Statistics, Horizon Broker Agent Metric Collection Statistics, and Horizon Broker Agent DB
Event Collection Statistics widgets. These widgets show simple graphs that contain the values of their
associated collection metrics over time.
Understanding Broker Agent Metrics
Although the broker agent metrics on the Horizon Adapter Status dashboard are accurate, their values
might be misleading. Because these metrics correspond to dierent activities within the broker agent, they
are updated at dierent intervals. For this reason, some metrics might appear to be stale or not up-to-date.
For example, the Topology Collection Time, User Session Count, and Desktop VM Count metrics in the
Horizon Broker Agent Status widget are updated only once per hour. Because the User Session Count metric
value can be up to an hour old, it might not agree with the session count value that appears on other
dashboards.
