  • 1.  UIM and VMWare Horizon View

    Posted Jun 18, 2016 04:08 AM

    We are about to setup a VDI environment using VMWare Horizon View and I'm looking for some experiences with monitoring such platform and the VDI's it provided to the users. Is there anyone who is already running such setup and who would be willing to share experiences and best practises?

    Most documentation I find on UIM and VDI are discussing the Citrix Desktop, while we are looking at VMWare Horizon View with the PCoIP protocol.

    Any tips, tricks and hints are welcome.

    Did you ever get any replies to this or how did you setup monitoring of VMware Horizon? 

    I need something as well to get insight into monitoring this as well as we have VDI's that get stuck on starting and need someway to detect this.

    If considering the VMWARE Probe - this fix for the VMWARE API completed for another product makes a significant improvement in pulling of metrics via the API.

    https://community.broadcom.com/enterprisesoftware/viewdocument/?DocumentKey=79a65765-cb27-44d7-bbf2-d942faceb7f4&CommunityKey=f6d2775e-f278-457b-bcc7-dde2a674610b&tab=librarydocuments

    This fix for CA CAPACITY MANAGER  in 2017 needs to be added to the DX-UIM VMWARE Probe because:
    -- Within the API they adjusted the "Chunk-Size" correctly there is no need to change the " <g class="gr_ gr_62 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling" id="62" data-gr-id="62">vpxd</g>.stats.maxQueryMetrics" value.
    -- Most customers DO NOT WANT to implement changes as documented in VMWARE KB

    David,
    That sounds like a very good recommendation, the question is if product management will see it here or if it should be posted as an Idea to ensure it gets seen by the right people. Of course internal channels is another option for communicating this.

    Opened a case on this:
    Case: 20026711

    Even with the focus on cloud-based systems, there is still a need for good probes that efficiently use the VMWARE API to gather metrics.

    Because many customers will still use DX-UIM hubs, robots, and probes to collect data from on-prem systems.
