The Horizon Universal Console's Capacity page displays the current state of cloud-connected Horizon pods (based on Horizon Connection Server technology). In this release, a Horizon pod can be in either monitored or managed state. Only when the pod is in managed state can you use that pod's resources in multi-cloud assignments (MCAs).
Monitored State
Monitored state is the default state of a Horizon pod after you first connect the pod to your Horizon Cloud environment. The following list describes the features available for a pod in monitored state:
- The Dashboard page provides an overall health report on the components of a monitored pod. This page also displays information about resource usage, current user sessions, and connection statistics for the pod. See Horizon Cloud Dashboard - Health Visibility and Insights into Your Pod Fleet and Tenant Environment.
- The Capacity page displays details about the pod such as its status, location, and state. See Managing Your Cloud-Connected Pods, for All Horizon Cloud Supported Pod Types.
- The console provides a user-based search feature from which you can perform help-desk operations to support your users. See Introducing the Cloud Monitoring Service's Unified Visibility and Insights, Health Monitoring, and Help Desk Features Provided in the Horizon Universal Console.
Managed State
If a monitored pod meets certain requirements, you can change the Horizon pod's state to the managed state. See Use the Horizon Universal Console to Change a Cloud-Connected Horizon Pod to Managed State.
A managed pod offers all the features available for a monitored pod. In addition, you can create multi-cloud assignments that use resources from a managed pod, and manage those multi-cloud assignments using the Horizon Universal Console. For more information, see Managing Multi-Cloud Assignments in Your Horizon Cloud Tenant Environment.
