The vRealize Operations for Horizon desktop agent runs on each desktop source in your Horizon environment. It collects metrics and performance data and sends them to the Horizon Adapter.

The desktop agent is installed as part of Horizon Agent . The following table lists the version of the desktop agent included in each version of Horizon Agent.

Important: Due to an existing limitation, you must install the vRealize Operations for Horizon 6.6 desktop agent separately even if you choose to install it with Horizon 7.6. This limitation is resolved in Horizon 7.7.
