Monitor Horizon 7 Components

You can quickly survey the status of the Horizon 7 and vSphere components in your Horizon 7 deployment by using the Horizon Console dashboard.

Horizon Console displays monitoring information about Connection Server instances, the event database, gateways, Horizon Composer services, datastores, vCenter Server instances, and domains.

Note: Horizon 7 cannot determine status information about Kerberos domains. Horizon Console displays Kerberos domain status as unknown, even when a domain is configured and working.

1. In Horizon Console, navigate to Monitor > Dashboard.
2. In the System Health pane, click View.
   The details pane displays the name, version and other information related to each issue.

   • A green check mark indicates that a component has no problems.
   • A red exclamation mark indicates that a component is unavailable or not functioning.
   • A yellow exclamation mark indicates that a component is in a warning state.
   • A question mark indicates that the status of a component is unknown.
