Indicates the number of virtual desktops of this type in this group that are currently powered on. |
Number |
To know the details of the powered-on desktops, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. |
|
Powered Off virtual desktops |
Indicates the number of virtual desktops of this type in this group that are currently powered off. |
Number |
To know the details of the powered-off desktops, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. |
|
Virtual desktops in use |
Indicates the number of virtual desktops of this type in this group that are currently in use. |
Number |
To know the details of the desktops that are in use, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. |
|
Available virtual desktops |
Indicates the number of virtual desktops of this type in this group that are currently idle – i.e., available for use. |
Number |
To know the details of the desktops that are free, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. |
|
Virtual desktops not registered |
Indicates the number of virtual desktops of this type in this group that are currently unregistered. |
Number |
To know the details of the unregistered desktops, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. |
|
Virtual desktops with users |
Indicates the percentage of virtual desktops that are currently in use. |
Percent |
A high value for this measure is a cause for concern, as it indicates that the virtual desktops in this group of this type have been utilized excessively. Such relentless usage of the VMs, can degrade the performance of the host on which the VMs are operating. |
|
Total virtual desktops |
Indicates the total number of virtual desktops in this group. |
Number |
|
|
Unknown powerstate virtual desktops |
The number of virtual desktops in this group that are currently in an ‘Unknown’ powerstate. |
Number |
To know the details of the desktops that in the unknown powerstate, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure. |
The detailed diagnosis of the Virtual desktops in use measure will reveal the name of the desktops that are being used, the desktop group to which they belong, the user to whom they have been assigned (in case of the Assigned descriptor; for Pooled desktops, the Assigned User column will typically be empty), the user who is currently logged in to the desktop, and current status of the desktop.
