This report gives the administrator a fast high-level picture of farm health for any group of XenApp servers.

Overview

This report contains four sub-reports:

• Average Login Time by Day
• Active Sessions by Day
• Average ICA Session Latency by Day
• Average CPU and Memory by Day
  

Reports Average Login Time by Day

The Average Login Time by Day report displays the average length of time (seconds) it takes for users to login to farm servers. The report displays a trend line over a period of time, so you can see if login times are increasing or decreasing during the time period specified. This may be helpful if you recently made changes to your environment. It should be noted that trend line for the Login Time in this report reflects overall farm traffic: on days when there are no sessions, login time can appear artificially low. Clicking on the trend line in this report displays the Session Login Time report.

To determine the reasons for slow session login times, see Session Startup Duration Details.

Metrics Displayed

• Login Time

Active Sessions by Day

The Active Sessions by Day report displays two trendlines:

• The average number of active sessions each day on farm servers.  
• The peak number of actives sessions each day on farm servers.

The report displays trends over a period of time, so you can see if the number of sessions are increasing or decreasing. Clicking on either the Avg Active Sessions (blue) or the Peak Sessions (green) trend line displays the Session Statistics report.

Metrics Displayed

• Peak Sessions
• Avg Active Sessions

Average ICA Session Latency by Day

The Average CPU and Memory by Day report is a bar chart that displays the amounts of latency for clients and servers that support the End User Monitoring metrics (ICA RTT) and ones that do not (ICA Latency). When the Presentation Server Summary report is run on a specific group of application servers, this subreport can indicate if specific servers are experiencing latency. Clicking on the trend line in this report displays the Session Login Timereport.

Metrics Displayed

• ICA Latency
• ICA RTT

Average CPU and Memory by Day

The Active Sessions by Day report displays a bar chart for the average CPU and memory usage in a group of servers (or the group you choose to run the XenApp Summary report on). If memory usage appears higher may be helpful if you recently made changes to your environment. Clicking on the trend line in this report displays the ICA Session Round Trip Time report, which can help determine if network latency is causing session latency (or if the latency is the product of something in the farm environment).

Metrics Displayed

• Avg CPU (%)
• Avg Memory Usage (%)

Counters

• Login Time
• Peak Sessions
• Avg Active Sessions
• ICA Latency
• ICA RTT
• Average CPU (%)
• Average Memory Usage (%)

Interpreting the Data

You can click on the charts in the summary reports and drill down to see the specific server data regarding that metric. For example, if there is a spike in Logon time, you can drill down to see where there may have been an issue. You can see if it was it just one server that day or all servers, one user or all users.

Tips

• Double-click on the chart for more detail and to uncover issues.
• Set up a subscription to email out this report in PDF format before the weekly staff meeting. This saves people from having to log on to the EdgeSight Console at the last minute.

Group and Department Structure

Consider making custom groups so that you can select groupings of servers that provide meaningful information when you generate this report. For example, you might want to run this report on a specific group of application servers about which users were complaining.

For information about the effect of Group and Deparatment Structure on reporting, see and the EdgeSight Administrator's Guide.
