What the eG VDI Monitor Offers for XenDesktop
Deployments
1. Single pane of glass for complete VDI Service view
2. Automatically baseline your KPIs to plan roll-outs efficiently
3. Correlate performance across silos and layers to pinpoint
the root-cause of problems automatically
4. See what is happening inside each user desktop
5. Track configuration changes; Correlate performance with
configuration changes.
6. Report on users and sessions, not just the VMs
1. Single Pane of Glass For Complete
VDI Service View
Monitor end-to-end – across every layer of every
component of the VDI service
Benefit: Eliminate blind-spots in the infrastructure
2. Automatically Baseline KPIs
• Auto-compute time of day baselines based on past history
• Alert administrators when metrics violate the baselines
Enables Proactive Monitoring
Benefit: Administrators know of problems before users notice
3. Automatic Correlation for Root-Cause
Diagnosis
Monitor service performance
Eliminate guess work, pinpoint problem areas
Correlate end-to-end using application
inter-dependency information
Identify the exact layer/measure that is
responsible for the problem
Benefit: Increase service uptime; Keep users happy!
4. See What is Happening Inside Each
User Desktop
Benefit: Provide accurate diagnosis for problems
Monitor users, not just VMs Deep dive “inside view” of each desktop
provides insights into its performanceDetailed diagnosis helps identify the
