Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Enabled |
Indicates whether this delivery group is available or not. |
|
This measure reports the value Yes if a delivery group is available, and reports No if it is not available.
The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned Measure Values are as follows:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Yes |
1 |
| No |
0 |
Note: By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the availability of the deslivery group. However, the graph of this measure will be represented using the numeric equivalents – 1 and 0 only.
The detailed diagnosis of this measure if enabled, lists the name of the delivery group, the description, the zone to which the group belongs, the desktop kind, whether Secure ICA is required, the number of sessions supported, whether the machine needs to be shut down after use, Powered on status of the machine if user is assigned, Powered on status of the machine during peak period if user is assigned , the published name of the machine, the delivery type, and the AppDisk name. |
| Maintenance_mode |
Indicates whether this delivery group is in a maintenance mode or not. |
|
Delivery groups are typically put on maintenance mode, if the connections to the machines within the group are to be temporarily stopped so that maintenance tasks are carried out.
XenDesktop has no control over delivery groups that are in maintenance mode. No user can log on to a machine in this state.
This measure reports the value Yes if a delivery group is in the maintenance mode, and reports No if it is not. The numeric values that correspond to the above-mentioned Measure Values are as follows:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Yes |
1 |
| No |
0 |
Note: By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values while indicating the maintenance status of the desktop group. However, the graph of this measure will represent the maintenance modes using the numeric equivalents – 1 and 0 only. |

| Used_desktops_pct |
Indicates the percentage of machines in this group that are currently in use by users. |
Percent |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A value close to 100% indicates that the delivery group is about to run out of free machines. Owing to the absence of unused machines, other users who have been assigned to this delivery group will be denied access to the group upon login.
