You pair each broker agent with a Horizon Adapter instance. Pairing the broker agent with an adapter
instance enables the broker agent and its desktop agents to communicate with the Horizon Adapter.
You can pair the broker agents in different pods with a single Horizon Adapter instance as long as the
total number of desktops that the adapter instance handles does not exceed 10,000.
You must configure the broker agent to connect to your event database. You can also optionally configure
the broker agent to monitor application pools and specific desktop pools.
Prerequisites
n Install the vRealize Operations for Horizon broker agent. See Install the vRealize Operations for
Horizon Broker Agent.
n Obtain the server key for the Horizon Adapter instance. You specified the server key when you
created the credential for the adapter instance.
n Obtain the IP address of the host where you installed the Horizon Adapter instance.
n Obtain the credentials for your event database and verify that the database format is supported. See
Supported Event Databases.
n If you want to monitor specific desktop pools in Horizon, obtain the IDs for the pools from Horizon
Administrator.
n Log in to the Horizon Connection Server host as a Horizon administrator.
