Monitoring the VMware Horizon Security Server
eG Enterprise offers a specialized monitoring model to monitor the VMware Horizon Security Server which periodically evaluates the service levels achieved by the VMware Horizon Security Server , and proactively alerts administrators to potential performance troubles.
Figure 1 : The layer model of the VMware Horizon Security Server
Each layer of Figure 1 is mapped to a variety of tests that provide valuable insights into the overall performance of the VMware Horizon Security Server. With the help of the metrics reported by these tests, you can find quick and accurate answers for the following queries:
- Is the VMware Horizon Connection Server available when accessed remotely via the VMware Horizon Security Server?
- How long does it take to access the desktops provisioned by the VMware Horizon Connection Server when accessed remotely via the VMware Horizon Security Server?
- How many view sessions were initiated through the VMware Horizon Security server?
- How many PCoIP and gateway sessions initiated through the VMware Horizon Security Server?
- What is the highest recorded number of concurrent PCoIP gateway sessions, secure gateway sessions, linked clone sessions initiated through the security server?
The sections that follow will focus on the Security Server layer of Figure 1. The remaining layers have already been dealt with in the Monitoring Unix and Windows Servers document.
