The next dashboard, View Users (see Figure 32),
gives detailed information on specific user sessions, such as the
current active sessions. You can use it for troubleshooting specific
end-user problems such as connection drops and poor performance.
Figure 32. View Users.
The next dashboard, View Top Sessions (see Figure 33),
provides information on the top View Sessions and includes pool
capacity, logon times, and the number of connections in a pool. It
ranks the pool information in each of these categories. You can use it
to compare performance and configuration or problems at the pool level.

In addition, similar information is displayed
at the desktop level on the Top Desktop VMs. The information in this
screen shows more VM performance metrics and critical alerts. It can
provide a quick snapshot to help you determine whether any virtual
desktops are experiencing performance problems. You also have a View
Pools dashboard (see Figure 34),
which is a heatmap showing all your virtual desktops. It can quickly
show performance issues from the VM to the datastore level.

In addition, the vSphere Infrastructure dashboard (see Figure 35) provides all the metrics and views previously discussed.

With the integration of vCenter
Operations and VMware View, you have a comprehensive tool for
understanding end-to-end performance and overall health. You have
specific information on how key components of the technology are
performing, such as PCoIP and the desktop pools. In addition, you can
make sure that your environment is optimally configured to ensure you
have the highest density without sacrificing performance. Plus, you can
plan the scaling out of your environment because you have detailed
information on when you are likely to need additional resources in your
virtual desktop environment.
