The Virtual Desktop Agent runs on the computers that host the virtual desktops you want to deliver to your users. This agent enables direct ICA (Independent Computing Architecture) service that manages communication between virtual desktops and user devices. Without this agent, the XenDesktop Broker - 5 will not be able to communicate with virtual desktops. It is therefore essential to periodically verify the availability of the Virtual Desktop Agent.

This test enables administrators to find out whether a Virtual Desktop Agent is available or not on each virtual desktop within each desktop group managed by the XenDesktop Broker - 5.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Is_desktop_agent_avail Indicates whether the Virtual Desktop Agent is available on this virtual desktop within this desktop group. Percent While the value 100 indicates that the Virtual Desktop Agent is available to broker requests sent from the XenDesktop Broker - 5, the value 0 indicates that it is currently unavailable. If a Virtual Desktop Agent is unavailable, the XenDesktop Broker - 5 will not be able to communicate with the corresponding virtual desktop, thereby affecting the quality of the user experience with the XenDesktop solution.
