Operations Dashboard

As part of our 5.0 release, an Operations Dashboard was introduced to allow users to track the cost and capacity of production VDI/DaaS environments. As part of our 5.1 release, the Dashboard was expanded to also include a Performance section. Users can access the new Cost, Capacity and Performance Dashboards from the Dashboards title of Virtual Appliance.

Within these dashboards, users can view a plethora of graphs and charts that provide real-time visualizations of the collected data. As a result, users can now gain enhanced visibility into system performance, quickly identify and resolve issues that may arise, and make informed, data-driven decisions based on the valuable insights offered by these dashboards.

However, users can effortlessly switch between the two dashboards, select a single environment or view the aggregated data from all of them in read-only mode. Each dashboard also provides a way to select desired time range, refresh the dashboard, zoom in or out of the view. These options can be found at the top right corner of the dashboard, and are shown below.
