VDI Pool is a collection of VDI VMs, that are identically configured Microsoft Window 10. VDI Session maps to a VM. A user can have multiple sessions at the same time, each has their own VM. This dashboard gives an overall performance of the pools and sessions, with ability to drill down and troubleshoot the performance.

Design Consideration

This dashboard gives an overall performance of the VDI Pools and VDI Sessons. It also provides the ability to drill down into one of the sessions in the pool.

How to Use the Dashboard

Review the table VDI Pools in the Pod.

  • Expect all of them to be in the green range. At the very least, none of them should be in the red.

  • Pay attention to the hosts that are not performing.

  • The number of sessions include both connected and disconnected session.

Select one of the entries in the table.

  • The KPI of the selected entry is shown in the scoreboards. There are four scoreboards showing different aspects of performance.

  • Its relevant property is shown in the property widget.

Select one or more entries in the scoreboard.

  • The line chart below the scoreboard plots the selected metrics.

  • Use the metric chart widget to compare metrics to see if there is any correlation.

  • You can also stack them. For example, you can combine Read IOPS and Write IOPS to get the Total IOPS. But, you should not combine Read Latency and Write Latency to get total latency as you must consider the read to write ratio.
