What Is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Monitoring (VDI Monitoring)?
Intelligent monitoring with powerful alerts and central management, VDI Monitoring enables IT to align resources to meet business requirements quickly, maintain a high availability and ensure optimal performance. Virtual desktop infrastructure monitoring (VDI monitoring) is the process of reviewing, monitoring and managing a VDI environment's operations for performance management, troubleshooting and security. It is used to ensure that virtual desktops perform as expected by monitoring the overall process of the desktop infrastructure. It ensures that performance issues stay manageable before you identify and fix them! VDI monitoring is complex, but it's relatively easy to pick up once you know what to look for. The most important thing to remember when monitoring a VDI environment is that no matter what technology is used on either side of your virtual desktop, whether the hardware or the software, there will be issues that can affect your environment. For example, suppose one of your CPUs happens to overheat in the early stages of processing or becomes affected by malware before the machine boots up. In that case, that could cause severe issues for your environment. It could happen in numerous ways, from untested software patches to rogue code being introduced onto your network through phishing attacks or drive-by downloads. It's essential to have an easy-to-use VDI tracking tool that provides insight into your virtual desktop infrastructure. It will help you locate where best to channel the resources needed to keep the environment stable with minimal overhead. A good solution should also provide a dashboard overview to give you a quick view of what's happening across all your connected VDI environments, including the virtual desktop manager (VDM), which monitors the operations of VDI components at each tier. With VDE, you can monitor your VDI tiers and resources at a granular level, as well as the composite infrastructure and resource utilization per desktop instance.
