Measures reported by VDIBoxTempDetTest

Templates are the molds from which desktops are created. You can use templates to create uniform virtual desktops that meet your specifications. Templates consist of an image and policies. The image contains the operating systems and applications that run on the desktop. Policies, which you set while creating the template, are characteristics such as how many desktops to create and how much RAM to allocate to the desktops. This test allows you a sneak peek at the configuration of each template created using the vdimanager and the status of every template so created. This way, you can identify templates that are currently enabled and those that are not, and those templates from which desktops with the configuration you desire can be created.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
State Indicates the current status of this template.   The values that this measure can take and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Enabled 1
Disabled 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the current status of a template. However, in the graph of this measure, the status will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only.

Is_default Indicates whether this template is the default template or not.   A desktop from the Default template is provisioned to a user if the user is not assigned to any template. The values that this measure can take and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 1
No 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating whether a template is the default template or not. However, in the graph of this measure, the same will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only.

To view the complete details of the monitored template, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. This will reveal the policies and properties set for the desktops that will be created from the target template.

Referesh_policy Indicates the refresh policy configured for the desktops that will be created from this template.   The values that this measure can take and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Description Numeric Value
On logout Ensures that users get a pristine desktop each time they login by deleting the desktop as soon as the user logs out. 1
Scheduled Refreshes all “On Hold” or “On Hold” and “In Use” desktops at the scheduled refresh time on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. 2
Scheduled or on logout Refreshes desktops at the scheduled refresh time as well as when the user logs out. 3
Manual Does not refresh any desktop unless the administrator does so manually. 4
Personal Desktops are refreshed only when the base image is updated, and the refresh reintegrates the existing personal disk with the new base image. 5

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the refresh policy of a template. However, in the graph of this measure, the same will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only.
Memory Indicates the amount of RAM allocated to the desktops created from this template. MB  
Virtual_CPU Indicates the number of virtual cores allocated to the desktops created from this template. Number  
Max_desktop Indicates the maximum number of desktops that can be generated from this template. Number  
Prestart_desk Indicates the number of desktops created from this template that should be pre-started and ready for login. Number Pre-started desktops are in a powered-on state and at the logon prompt, ready for use. Pre-starting desktops eliminates the need for users to wait for virtual desktops to start.
