VMware has released a new version of the Horizon Toolbox. This new version supports auditing of:
- Sessions: Shows historical concurrent session trend for the last 2 days, last week and last month. Shows current virtual desktop connections by desktop pools, and shows virtual application connections by RDS (Remote Desktop Service) Farms.
- Usage: Shows accumulated use time of users for the last 2 days, last week and last month. Shows all connections (user name, pool/farm name, machine name, connection time, disconnection time) for the past 2 days, last week, and last month.
- Snapshots: Shows parent virtual machines of linked clone desktop pools and descendant snapshots in a tree view. The snapshots not in use by linked clone pools are marked in grey so that the View administrator can remove the snapshots, not in use.
- Clients: Shows statistics for operating systems and versions of View clients in different types of view styles. Show View clients IP addresses.
- End users actions: show agent-side users' actions about USB storage, Client Drive Redirection, and Clipboard
It also has support for Console Access and a Power Policy:
-
Console Access lists all VMs for desktop pools, and you can filter VMs by VM name or DNS name. Clicking the VM name, the vSphere console for that VM will pop out.
-
Power Policy lists all desktop pools and their power policies. Power Policy can power on all VMs in a desktop pool with some schedule, like 8:00 AM on all work days. You can set up a power policy for each desktop pool.
