There are a few performance metrics that are worth monitoring in your XenDesktop environment. These metrics apply to the Windows virtual machines. They are listed here in the following table:
Metric |
Descripton |
---|---|
Processor - % processor time |
The percentage of time it takes to execute a thread. Calculated by observing the time the service is inactive and subtracting it from 100%. It depends on the process, but up to 70%-80% might be acceptable for one process. |
System – processor queue length |
The number of threads in the processor queue. This shows threads that are ready to run, not threads that are already running. A long CPU queue is a symptom of a CPU bottleneck. Up to five threads per core for five minutes is acceptable. |
Memory – available bytes |
The amount of memory available after non-paged pool allocations. If you get down to only 30% memory available, you should keep an eye on this. |
Memory – pages / sec |
The rate at which pages are read from or written... |
