Measures reported by HrznLogonSimTest

This test emulates a user logging into a VMware Horizon farm and launching an application/desktop. In the process, the test reports the total duration of the simulation, time taken for the login to be authenticated, the time taken for application/desktop ennumeration, duration of application/desktop launch, and log out duration. Additionally, the test also captures failures (if any) at each step of the simulation. Using the insights provided by this test, VMware Horizon administrators can proactively detect logon slowness/failures and precisely pinpoint the root-cause of the anomaly - is it login authentication? enumeration? application/desktop launch? or logout? This way, administrators are enabled to isolate the probable pain-points of their VMware Horizon infrastructure, even before users begin to actively use applications/desktops.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Logon_availability Indicates whether/not the simulator logged into the web store successfully, when attempting to launch this application/desktop. Percent The value 100 for this measure indicates that logon was successful, and the value 0 indicates that logon failed.

If this measure reports the value 0, then no other measures will be reported for that application/desktop.

You can also use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to view the output of the simulation script, scrutinize it, and isolate the failure and problem points of the VMware Horizon infrastructure at first glance.
App_enum_availability Indicates whether/not applications/desktops were successfully enumerated on the Access Point (VMware Unified Access Gateway) / VMware Horizon Connection Server console, when the simulator attempted to launch this application/desktop. Percent The value 100 for this measure indicates that application/desktop enumeration was successful, and the value 0 indicates that enumeration failed.
App_launch_availability Indicates whether/not the simulator launched this application/desktop successfully. Percent The value 100 for this measure indicates that application/desktop launch was successful, and the value 0 indicates that the launchn failed.

By comparing the value of this measure across applications/desktops, you can quickly identify which application/desktop could not be launched.
Logon_duration Indicates the time taken by the simulator to login to Access Point (VMware Unified Access Gateway) / VMware Horizon Connection Server, when attempting to launch this application/desktop. Seconds If the Total_duration for an application/desktop exceeds its threshold, compare the value of this measure with that of the other duration values reported by the test to know where the bottleneck lies - in login authentication? application enumeration? application launch? or log out?
App_enum_duration Indicates the time taken for application/desktop enumeration to complete, when the simulator attempted to launch this application/desktop. Seconds If the Total_duration for an application/desktop exceeds its threshold, compare the value of this measure with that of the other duration values reported by the test to know where the bottleneck lies - in login authentication? application enumeration? application launch? or log out?
App_launch_duration Indicates the time taken by the simulator to launch this application/desktop. Seconds If the Total_duration for an application/desktop exceeds its threshold, compare the value of this measure with that of the other duration values reported by the test to know where the bottleneck lies - in login authentication? application enumeration? application launch? or log out?
Logoff_duration Indicates the time taken by the simulator to log out of Access Point (VMware Unified Access Gateway) / VMware Horizon Connection Server. Seconds If the Total_duration for an application/desktop exceeds its threshold, compare the value of this measure with that of the other duration values reported by the test to know where the bottleneck lies - in login authentication? application enumeration? application launch? or log out?
Total_duration Indicates the total time taken by the simulator to simulate the launch of this application / desktop. Seconds An abnormally high value for this measure could indicate a logon slowness. In such a case, compare the value of all the duration values reported by the test to know where the bottleneck lies - in login authentication? application enumeration? application launch? or log out?
