Horizon Infrastructure Dashboard
Use the Horizon Infrastructure dashboard to quickly assess the underlying vSphere and Horizon
infrastructure that supports your Horizon environment.
The Horizon Infrastructure Dashboard includes the Horizon Infrastructure Hosts, Horizon VDI Desktop
VMs, Horizon Datastores, Horizon RDS Hosts, and Heat Map widgets. These widgets show information
about the health, workload, and connectivity of infrastructure hosts, remote desktops, and datastores, RDS
(Microsoft Remote Desktop Services) hosts in your Horizon environment.
You can select an object in any widget and click the Dashboard Navigation buon on the widget toolbar to
navigate to vSphere dashboards. You can double-click an object to navigate to the object Summary tab in
vRealize Operations Manager.
N RDS hosts are specic to Horizon 6.x and later environments.
