Note:
By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned States while indicating the power state of the virtual desktop. However, the graph of this measure will represent the states using their corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 1 to 10.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the IP address and operating system of the desktop, the desktop group to which it belongs, the hypervisor on which it operates, and the name of the hypervisor connection.
|
| Registration_state |
Indicates whether this virtual desktop is registered with the broker or not. |
|
This measure reports the following states to indicate the registration state of the virtual desktop.
- Registered
- Unregistered
- AgentError
A virtual desktop is said to be in an Unregistered state if the Virtual Desktop Agent is executing smoothly on the desktop, but fails to register with the controller, owing to one/more of the following desktop-related issues:
- The virtual desktop may not be added to the correct site;
- The virtual desktop firewall is not properly configured;
- The DNS is not properly configured;
- The time synchronization between the virtual desktop and the controller is not properly configured;
- Domain membership problems – a virtual desktop may appear to be a part of a particular domain, but in reality, may be part of another domain;
- The usage of multiple network adapters by a virtual desktop may cause the security negotiation between the desktop and controller to fail;
- Issues with the virtual desktop’s Service Principal Name (SPN)
An AgentError is reported if the Virtual Desktop Agent itself is experiencing issues in its operations.
The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned states are as follows:
| State |
Numeric Value |
| Registered |

| Is_maintenance_mode |
Indicates whether this virtual desktop is currently under maintenance. |
|
If you want to temporarily stop connections to a desktop so that maintenance tasks can be carried out, you can put the desktop into maintenance mode. If this is the case, then the value of this measure will be Yes. If the desktop is not on maintenance, then the value will be No.
The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned states are as follows:
| State |
Numeric Value |
| No |
0 |
| Yes |
1 |
Note:
By default, this measure reports Yes/No to indicate the maintenance mode of a virtual desktop. However, the graph of this measure will represent the maintenance mode using the corresponding numeric equivalents – i.e., 0 and 1.
|
| Is_user_connected |
Indicates whether any user is currently connected to this virtual desktop or not. |
|
This measure reports a value Yes, when the user is connected to the virtual desktop and reports a value No when the user is not connected.
The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned values are as follows:
| State |
Numeric Value |
| No |
0 |
| Yes |
1 |
Note:
By default, this measure reports the values Yes or No while indicating the connection state of the user to the virtual desktop. However, the graph of this measure will represent the connection state using the corresponding numeric equivalents of 0 and 1 only.
If the value of this measure is Yes, then, you can identify the user who is connected to the desktop using the detailed diagnosis of this measure. |
| Poweroff_maintenance |
Indicates whether the virtual desktop is powered off and in maintenance mode. |
|
The value of this measure will be Yes if the virtual desktop is in powered off state and under the maintenance mode. If the desktop is not on maintenance and powered off, then the value will be No.
