Measures reported by VMViewRDSHostsTest

RDS hosts are server computers that have Windows Remote Desktop Services and View Agent installed. These servers host applications and desktop sessions that users can access remotely. To know the status of each RDS host, what type of sessions are active on each RDS host in a farm and to determine the status of desktops/applications on each host, use the RDS Hosts test.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Local_sessions Indicates the number of local sessions to desktops/applications on this host. Number  
Remote_sessions Indicates the number of remote sessions to desktops/applications on this farm. Number  
Pcoip_session Indicates the number of PCoIP sessions to the desktops/applications in this host. 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 host. 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/applications in this host. Number The details of the RDP sessions can be viewed in the detailed diagnosis.
Actv_desktops Indicates the number of desktops on this host that are in active sessions and have active remote connections to a View client. Number  
Inactv_desktops Indicates the number of desktops on this host that are in active sessions but are disconnected from the View client. Number A non-zero value is a cause for concern.
Actv_app Indicates the number of applications on this host that are in active sessions and have active remote connections to a View client. Number  
Inactv_app Indicates the number of applications on this host that are in active sessions but are disconnected from the View client. Number A non-zero value warrants close scrutiny.
Is_enabled Indicates whether/not this host is enabled.   This measure reports the value Yes if the host is enabled and No if otherwise. The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are as follows:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Yes 0
No 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values to indicate whether/not this host is enabled. However, the graph of this measure will represent the same using the numeric equivalents only.
Status Indicates the current status of this host.   The values that this measure can take and its corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Available 100
Agent Unreachable 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the above-mentioned Measure Values to indicate the current status of this host. However, the graph of this measure will represent the same using the numeric equivalents only.
Conn_count Indicates the maximum connections that can be provided to the desktops/applications on this host. Number
