How to Monitor Physical Desktops Using eG Enterprise?

This involves the following steps:

1. Install an eG agent on a remote Windows/Linux host in the environment;

2. Install and start an eG VM Agent on every desktop you want monitored on the cloud;

3. Configure every eG VM Agent with the details of the eG manager it should talk to, so that it can download from the manager the details of the Physical Desktop Group component it should monitor, and the remote agent it should report to;

4. Enable a TCP port on the remote agent, using which the VM agent will send metrics to the remote agent;

5. Manage the Physical Desktop Group component using the eG administrative interface;

6. View the real-time state and metrics of the managed Physical Desktop Group component in the eG monitoring console
