Measures reported by HrznPODFarmsTest

Farms are collections of RDS hosts and facilitate the management of those hosts. Farms can have a variable number of RDS hosts and provide a common set of applications or RDS desktops to users. When you create an RDS desktop pool or an application pool, you must specify a farm. To know the composition of an RDS farm and track the status of the desktops and applications in the farm, take the help of the RDS Farms test.

For every RDS farm on the target VMware Horizon Cloud Pod, this test reports the count of RDS hosts in the farm, the number and type of sessions active in that farm, and the state of desktops and applications in that farm.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each RDS farm managed by the VMware Horizon Cloud Pod being monitored.

Descriptor of the test : RDS farm

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total_desktops Indicates the number of RDS hosts in this farm. Number  
Total_app_pools Indicates the number of application pools in this farm. Number

Application pools let you deliver applications to many users. The applications in application pools run on a farm of RDS hosts.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of the application pools, the RDS farm associated to the application pool, the RDS hosts to which the application pool is associated to and the Enabled status of the application pool.
Remote_sessions Indicates the total number of remote sessions to desktops/applications in this farm.. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of the user who initiated the session, the RDS farm to which the user is associated to, the start time of the session, the DNS name, the status of the session, the protocol through which the session was initiated and the IP address.
Actv_desktops Indicates the number of desktops in this farm that are in active sessions and have active remote connections to a View client. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of the user who initiated the session, the RDS farm to which the user is associated to, the start time of the session, the DNS name, the status of the session, the protocol through which the session was initiated and the IP address.
Inactv_desktops Indicates the number of desktops in this farm that are in active sessions but are disconnected from the View client. Number

A non-zero value is a cause for concern.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of the user who initiated the session, the RDS farm to which the user is associated to, the start time of the session, the DNS name, the status of the session, the protocol through which the session was initiated and the IP address.
Actv_app Indicates the number of applications in this farm that are in active sessions and have active remote connections to a View client. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of the user who initiated the session, the RDS farm to which the user is associated to, the start time of the session, the DNS name, the status of the session, the protocol through which the session was initiated and the IP address.
Inactv_app Indicates the number of applications in this farm that are in active sessions but are disconnected from View client. Number

A non-zero warrants close scrutiny.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the name of the user who initiated the session, the RDS farm to which the user is associated to, the start time of the session, the DNS name, the status of the session, the protocol through which the session was initiated and the IP address.
Is_enabled Indicates whether/not this farm is enabled.   This measure reports a value Yes if the farm is enabled and No, if otherwise. The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned states are as follows:

State Numeric Value
Yes 1
No 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned states while indicating the status of thsi farm. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents of the states as mentioned in the table above.
Pcoip_session Indicates the number of PCoIP sessions to the desktops/applications in this farm. Number The details of the PCoIP sessions can be viewed in the detailed diagnosis.
Blast_session Indicates the number of Blast sessions to the desktops/applications in this farm. Number The details of the Blast sessions can be viewed in the detailed diagnosis.
Rdp_session Indicates the number of RDP sessions to the desktops/sessions in this farm. Number The details of the RDP sessions can be viewed in the detailed diagnosis.
Conn_count Indicates the maximum number of connections that can be provided to the desktops/applications on this farm. Number
