Overview
Environment entities define costs and capacity for a group of Continuous and Load Tests in the Operations Dashboard. For more information, see the Operations dashboard.
Creating an Environment
To create a new Environment, in the Login Enterprise sidebar menu, navigate to Configuration > Environments.
In Environments, click Add Environment on the top right to create a new Environment entity.
As of Login Enterprise 5.2, Data providers can be integrated into the environment to collect active user counts from an existing Azure Virtual Desktop environment via an API. For more information on data providers, see the Providers.
To eliminate manual data input and enhance data accuracy in the Operations dashboard, provide the following information:
- Resource Group: The name of the Azure resource group that contains your AVD Host Pool.
- Host Pool: The name of the AVD Host Pool from which data should be retrieved.
Configuring the Environment
For each environment, you can specify the following characteristics:
- Name: The designated title or identifier for the environment.
- Description: A brief summary that outlines the purpose and key characteristics of the environment.
- Provider (optional): The virtual desktop provider where the environment's desktops and/or applications are hosted.
- CAPEX: The total capital expenditures required for the initial setup and infrastructure of the environment.
- OPEX: The ongoing operational expenditures necessary for the maintenance and daily operation of the environment.
- Currency: The type of currency used for all cost-related entries, such as USD, EUR, or GBP.
- Maximum amount of users (VSI Max): The highest number of users that the environment is designed to support simultaneously.
- Actual amount of users: The projected or current number of users actively using the environment.
This data will be displayed in the Operations Dashboard under the corresponding environment. For more information, see the Operations dashboard.
