Machine Utilization Report
This report provides administrators with an overview of the status of virtual machines/virtual desktops in each Citrix delivery group. Using this report, administrators can identify the delivery groups where many machines/virtual desktops are in an abnormal state – for e.g., unregistered, unavailable, disconnected etc. – and are hence not ready to be assigned to users. The usage of machines/desktops can also be analyzed per delivery group, so that over-utilized groups and least-used groups can be accurately isolated.
To generate this report, do the following:
Figure 1 then appears. In Figure 1, select a criteria for analysis from the Analyze By list box.
Figure 1 : Specifying the criteria for generating the Machine Utilization report
Using this report, you can analyze the state of the machines on one/more managed components, or those that are part of a zone, service or segment. The options provided by the Analyze By list box are discussed hereunder:
In addition to the settings discussed above, this report comes with a set of default specifications. These settings are hidden by default. If you do not want to disturb these default settings, then you can proceed to generate the report by clicking the Run Report button soon after you pick one/more components for report generation. However, if you want to view and then alter these settings (if required), click on the icon. The default settings will then appear in the MORE OPTIONS drop down window (See Figure 2). The steps below discuss each of these settings and how they can be customized.
If the timeline specified for the report needs to exclude the data collected during the Weekends, then set Exclude weekends to Yes. If not, select No.
Note:
By default, the weekend constitutes Saturday and Sunday. To override this default setting, do the following:
Next, indicate the report Time period.
Note:
By default, the Time period is set to 24 hours. Accordingly, the From and To parameters in the [timeframe] section of the eg_report.ini file (in the <eg_install_dir>\manager\config directory) are set to 00:00 and 24:00 respectively. If need be, you can override this default setting by configuring a different timeframe against the From and/or To parameters.
In large environments, reports generated using months of data can take a long time to complete. Administrators now have the option of generating reports on-line or in the background. When a report is scheduled for background generation, administrators can proceed with their other monitoring, diagnosis, and reporting tasks, while the eG manager is processing the report. This saves the administrator valuable time. To schedule background processing of a report, you can either select the Background Save - PDF option from the Report Generation list. To process reports in the foreground, select the Foreground Generation - HTML option from this list.
Note:
If the Report type is Foreground Generation - HTML, then Figure 3 will appear as soon as you click the Run Report button.
