Desktop Virtualization NQL capabilities
New NQL capabilities
Desktop Virtualization uses the following tables that are specific to VDI:
These tables provide insights into virtual desktop sessions and their associated events, enabling users to monitor performance and user interactions more effectively. The VDI_SESSIONS table captures key metrics related to individual sessions, while the VDI_EVENTS table records significant events during those sessions.
Additionally, the VDI_SESSIONS and VDI_EVENTS tables are associated with the Devices and Users tables, allowing access to all related data. These additions promote improved analysis and troubleshooting within virtual desktop environments.
Key Benefits of the New Metrics:
Enhanced Performance Monitoring Deeper insights into system performance metrics on VMs and client devices.
Improved User Experience Better tracking of user interaction and experience on virtual desktops.
Proactive Troubleshooting New data points to help identify potential issues before they affect users.
See the NQL data model for more details about the tables.
Increasing data resolution
When querying VDI event data with NQL, you can enhance the resolution of your results to 30-second intervals, allowing you to gain deeper insight into system behavior. This enables more accurate tracking of anomalies and system performance trends.
By default, VDI event data are available with 5-minute or 1-day resolution, depending on time selection in your NQL query. To increase VDI data resolution, add by 30s at the end of the time selection in the query. The examples below show how to increase the resolution of the vdi_events data, regardless of the time selection format and default resolution.
Increasing data resolution from 1 day to 30 seconds.
Increasing data resolution from 5 minutes to 30 seconds.
