Syntax
vdmadmin -H [-b authentication_arguments] -list -xml [-w | -n]
vdmadmin -H [-b authentication_arguments] -list -monitorid monitor_id -xml [-w | -n]
vdmadmin -H [-b authentication_arguments] -monitorid monitor_id -instanceid instance_id -xml [-w | -n]

The following table shows the health monitors that VMware Horizon uses to monitor the health of its components.
| Monitor | Description |
|---|---|
| CBMonitor | Monitors the health of Connection Server instances. |
