AVD Admin Dashboard

Overview

The Admin Dashboard provides an overview of Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) host pools across all tenants where AVD management is enabled. The dashboard displays all configured host pools and provides key information for each pool in individual tiles.

Search by Pool Name or Tenant

Use the search field at the top to search for a host pool name or tenant name within the currently filtered list of host pools.

Filter by Tenant

Use a filter to help narrow down the list of host pools by tenant. This filter allows you to focus on host pools associated with specific tenants.

You can use this filter to:

Select one host pool
Select multiple host pools
Select all host pools
Select no host pools

Selecting all host pools or none produces the same result: host pools from all tenants are displayed.

Email Subscription

An email subscription prompt is available to keep administrators informed of new releases, features, and other important information via the Hydra Dispatch newsletter.

When a Full Admin user logs in for the first time, a pop-up prompt is displayed inviting the user to subscribe to the newsletter.

Action	Description
Learn more	Opens the Login VSI website, where you can subscribe to the newsletter. This does not subscribe the user directly from Hydra.
Cancel	Dismisses the prompt. If you click “Cancel” without clicking “Learn more” or “Don't show this again”, the prompt will appear again on the next visit. The same behavior applies to the banner: dismissing it will cause it to appear again unless you click “Learn more” or “Don't show this again.”
Don’t show this again	Prevents the prompt from being shown again.

If you dismiss the prompt, a Subscribe button remains available in the Hydra header, allowing you to subscribe to the product updates whenever convenient.

The newsletter is currently the primary way to receive product updates (for example, new versions or announcements).
In-product notifications for such updates are not currently available.
