New Service Improvement Idea: AVD Performance Insight Dashboard
Overview: Enhance the Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) experience by introducing a dedicated dashboard that displays real-time CPU and memory usage for each AVD session along with the top 10 processes consuming CPU. This dashboard will empower IT administrators to quickly diagnose performance issues and optimize resource allocation. Key Features: Real-Time Monitoring: Display live CPU and memory metrics per AVD session. Auto-refresh capability to capture real-time performance changes. Process Analysis: Show a list of the top 10 processes consuming CPU per session. Provide detailed process metrics including CPU percentage, memory footprint, and process IDs. Historical Data & Trend Analysis: Archive performance data to visualize trends over time. Enable administrators to identify recurring patterns or spikes in resource usage. Alerting & Notifications: Set custom thresholds for CPU and memory usage. Generate alerts for sessions or processes that exceed set limits, triggering proactive remediation. Integration with Existing Tools: Seamlessly integrate with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics for deep-dive analysis. Export data to Power BI for advanced visualization and reporting. User-Friendly Interface: Interactive dashboard design with filtering options (e.g., by session, time frame, or specific metrics). Drill-down capability to analyze individual sessions or processes in detail. Benefits: Enhanced Troubleshooting: Quickly pinpoint performance bottlenecks by identifying resource-intensive sessions and processes. Proactive Maintenance: Early detection of abnormal resource usage allows for timely intervention before issues escalate. Optimized Resource Management: Understand usage patterns to make informed decisions on scaling, workload balancing, and capacity planning. Improved User Experience: Reduce downtime and performance issues, leading to smoother end-user operations in the virtual desktop environment. Implementation Considerations: Data Collection: Leverage AVD session performance counters and existing telemetry from Azure Monitor. Dashboard Development: Use modern visualization tools (e.g., Power BI or Azure Dashboard) for an intuitive user interface. Security & Compliance: Ensure data privacy and compliance with government/federal cloud standards where applicable.
Need insight to domain join failures for session host configuration
We are trying to use the session host configuration for a new AVD host pool. We have confirmed that it can join computer to the specified OU without difficulty when we do it manually, and that the key vault access is intact since the local admin is created without issue. But any new session hosts fail to join to the domain. They're created with all other specifications. If we try to add them manually it seems to create some kind of instability in the FSLogix where it will then permanently hang for users when trying to log off. It would be good if we had insight to the domain join failures so we don't have to manually join them. In the deployment I can see the network, the VM, and a DSC, but that DSC is only for joining to the AVD Host pool. I don't see anything in it to join using the key vault credentials.
Security issue with Mac client - client is making inappropriate connections
Hello, I use Little Snitch on MacOS to monitor for inappropriate outbound connections. The new Windows app that replaces the RDP app is doing some very shady connection attempts. As soon as I launched it, Little Snitch notified me of continuous connection attempts by the new Windows client to *ALL MY SAFARI BOOKMARKS* - I kept denying connection after connection, but based on the hostnames being accessed, I could tell it was sequentially iterating through my bookmarks toolbar, trying to ping every endpoint i have saved. I have now blocked your client from any outbound connection attempts. I do not understand why a client I am using for accessing local machines is now talking to all sorts of remote domains I did not give it permission to access. Seems like a fundamental design flaw of this new version - why is it trying to connect to my safari bookmarks automatically?
Allow Custom Ressource Group and DCR in New AVD Insights Configuration Workbook
The new preview version of the AVD insights configuration workbook for the AMA agent only recognizes data collection rules that are created in a resource group called "AzureMonitor-DataCollectionRules" and does not recognize any DCR that was created elsewhere. We would like to have the option to use other resource groups and DCR. Hope this can be adjusted during the preview.
Keyboard + Mouse Combinations - Adobe Products etc
I am looking for a few features on the IOS or IPad version of the app for the virtual desktop. I am unable to use the alt-mouse scroll wheel or the spacebar+left mouse click commands to navigate in adobe products like Indesign and Illustrator. I have also seen other issues of more complex keystroke combinations not being translated via the App specifically. These actions work fine from a PC - to a remote PC. But they fail when it’s via the Remote Desktop App for IPad. Any help would be appreciated!RD Client App / Apple TV Synchronisation
Seit dem letzten Update kann ich bei der Bildschirmsynchronisierung nur doch das Bild auf dem TV sehen. Auf dem Tablet bleibt das Bild schwarz. Der Fehler passiert auch nur bei dieser App. Mit einer anderen RDP App funktioniert es ganz gewohnt. Bitte um Hilfestellung
