Monitor Horizon Connection Server Load Status

You can monitor the load for a Connection Server in the Horizon Console dashboard. For each Connection Server, you can view the percentage of CPU and memory consumed, the number of display protocol sessions, Connection Server connection sessions, or the threshold for the maximum number of sessions that can connect to a Connection Server. You can also view the number of connected sessions for an RDS host.

Note: When all gateway settings are enabled, Horizon Console displays a session limit, which is the Connection Server sessions allowed maximum, and expresses Connection Server session counts as a percentage of this limit. When gateway settings are not enabled, no session limit is given, and the absolute number of Connection Server sessions is shown.

Procedure

1. In Horizon Console, navigate to Monitor > Dashboard.
2. In the System Health pane, click View.
   In the Components pane, on the Connection Servers tab, the Sessions column displays the percentage of Connection Server sessions for each Connection Server. The CPU Consumption column displays the percentage of CPU consumed for each Connection Server. The Memory Consumption column displays the percentage of memory consumed for each Connection Server.
3. Select a Connection Server and click View Sessions Detail to view the number of gateway and non-gateway protocol sessions, and if shown the session limit, for this Connection Server.

   A gateway protocol session passes through a Blast Secure Gateway, PCoIP Secure Gateway, or HTTPS Secure Tunnel on the Connection Server that manages the connection. For example, Connection Server is configured to use PCoIP Secure Gateway connection and Horizon Client uses the PCoIP protocol to connect to the Connection Server.

   A non-gateway protocol session does not pass through a Blast Secure Gateway, PCoIP Secure Gateway, or HTTPS Secure Tunnel on the Connection Server that manages the connection. For example, Connection Server is configured to use HTTP(s) Secure Tunnel connection and Horizon Client uses the PCoIP protocol to connect to the Connection Server.

4. To view the number of sessions on an RDS host, in the Components pane, click RDS Farms, and click a farm ID.
   The Sessions column displays the number of sessions on an RDS host.
