Key performance indicators (KPIs) can help customers limit their monitoring to a defined set of the most valuable performance metrics instead of enabling all possible metrics which can end up in generating too much QOS data and/or alarms.
Does CA UIM (Nimsoft) have a list of key performance indicators (KPIs/metrics) for the xendesktop probe?
Desktop Node Metrics 1. DesktopConditions_ICALatency Indicates high ICA Latency when true 2. ICASessionLatency Milliseconds ICA session latency of the virtual desktop Note: The default value for QOS is -1 when no monitor type is present in the XenDesktop server. Broker Session Node Metrics 3. PowerState The current power state of the machine hosting the session. Possible values are: Unmanaged, Unknown, Unavailable, On, Suspended, TurningOn, TurningOff, Suspending and Resuming. 4. SessionState Enumeration The state of the session. Each number is assigned an operational status value of supported components, as follows: 0: Active 10: Connected 20: Disconnected 30: Reconnecting 40: PreparingSession 50: NonBrokeredSession 100: Unknown Disconnected sessions can indicate users that are being disrupted due to network problems. Also, a high number of them being present results in excessive Virtual Memory usage. If for some reason you cant find the metric you want in xendesktop using the current version, you can add an Idea/enhancement request for it to be added to UIM, and use ntperf in the meantime if the particular counter is available on the DDC/desktop. Desktop Group Node Metrics 5. DesktopsDisconnected Integer Number of disconnected desktops Disconnected sessions can indicate users that are being disrupted due to network problems. Also, a high number of them being present results in excessive Virtual Memory usage. 6. PhysicalDiskCurrentQueueLength Integer Physical disk current queue length Note: The default value for QOS is -1 when no monitor type is present in the XenDesktop server. 1.0 7. PhysicalDiskTotalDiskBytesPerSec BytesPerSec Physical disk total disk bytes per sec Note: The default value for QOS is -1 when no monitor type is present in the XenDesktop server. Healthinfo node metrics 8. PhysicalDiskCurrentQueueLength Long Physical disk current queue length Note: The default value for QOS is -1 when no monitor type is present in the XenDesktop server. 1.0 9. PhysicalDiskTotalDiskBytesPerSec BytesPerSec Physical disk total disk bytes per sec Note: The default value for QOS is -1 when no monitor type is present in the XenDesktop server. 10. Load Indexes node Cpu String The CPU usage of the machine Memory Integer The memory usage of the machine Disk Integer The disk usage of the machine SessionCount Integer The session count usage of the machine Optional: 11. Machine Node metrics SessionsPending Integer Number of pending (brokered but not yet established) sessions on this machine. For multi-session machines this also includes established sessions which have not yet completed their logon processing.
