Overview
The Operations Dashboard allows you to monitor the cost and capacity of your production VDI/DaaS environments.
You can view a plethora of graphs and charts that provide real-time visualizations of the collected data. As a result, you can gain enhanced visibility into system performance, quickly identify and resolve issues, and make informed, data-driven decisions based on the valuable insights these dashboards provide.
Switch between the two dashboards, select a single environment, or view the aggregated data from all of them in read-only mode. Each Dashboard also provides a way to select the desired time range, refresh the dashboard, and zoom in or out of the view. You can find these options in the top-right corner of the Dashboard, as shown below.
Accessing the Operations Dashboard
-
In the Login Enterprise sidebar menu > Results, navigate to Dashboard.
-
In Dashboard, click the Operations dashboard to view your environments' Cost, Capacity, and Performance data.
Cost Dashboard
The Cost Dashboard provides insights into the cost considerations of the selected environment, specifically:
|
CapEx |
OpEx |
Expected Users |
Actual Users |
Capacity Monitors |
Performance Monitors |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The total capital expenses associated with the environment. |
The total operational expenses associated with the environment. |
The anticipated maximum number of users (VSIMax) |
The current actual number of users utilizing the environment. |
The number of Load Tests assigned to the environment to monitor its capacity. |
The number of Continuous Tests assigned to the environment to monitor its performance. |
|
Budgeted Cost Per User |
Budgeted Cost |
||||
|
The budgeted cost divided by the number of expected users, indicating the projected cost per user. |
The combined cost comprising Capital Expenditures (CapEx) and Operational Expenditures (OpEx). |
||||
|
Current Cost Per User |
Cost By Type |
||||
|
The budgeted cost divided by the actual number of users, representing the current cost per user. |
The percentage breakdown of costs between Capital Expenditures and Operational Expenditures. |
||||
|
Costs By Environment |
Costs By Environment |
||||
|
The total cost of each environment as a percentage of the total costs. |
The total cost of each environment as a percentage of the total costs. |
||||
|
Cost Per User Over Time |
|||||
|
Trends showing the cost per user over time, including budgeted and actual users. |
|||||
Capacity Dashboard
The Capacity Dashboard presents the current status of the selected environment's capacity with the following details:
|
Expected Users |
Actual Users |
Capacity Monitors |
|---|---|---|
|
Number of Expected Users |
Number of Actual Users |
The number of Load Tests assigned to the environment. |
|
Used Capacity |
Remaining Capacity (%) |
Remaining Capacity |
|
Ratio of Actual Users to Expected Users |
Percentage of remaining capacity (100 - Used Capacity %) |
Expected Users minus Actual Users |
|
Capacity Over Time |
||
|
Trends depicting Expected Users and Actual Users over time. |

Performance Dashboard
The Performance Dashboard offers insights into the performance of various environments during the selected time period. By leveraging the EUX scores from Continuous Tests, the graphs demonstrate whether performance has improved or declined over time.
|
EUX Score |
Compared to Previous |
Overall Performance |
|---|---|---|
|
Displays the average EUX Score of Continuous Tests assigned to the selected environment over a given time frame, whether it's a few minutes or several years. However, if no new tests have been running during that time frame, the graph may show "No data." When all environments are selected, the general average EUX Score is calculated by adding up the average EUX Scores of each environment. |
Shows how the EUX Score has improved or declined. If the user selects a time frame of 5 minutes, the current EUX Score of the past 5 minutes will be compared to the preceding 5 minutes. For example, suppose the current time is 10:05, and the user selects a time frame of 5 minutes. In that case, the current EUX average will be calculated using data from 10:00 to 10:05, and the previous EUX average will be calculated using data from 09:55 to 10:00. |
Provides a tabular view of average EUX Scores. When "All Environments" is selected, a list of all environments with their average EUX Score is shown. When a specific environment is selected, the table will contain a list of all Continuous Tests that are assigned to the specified environment, with their average EUX Score. |
|
Performance Over Time |
||
|
Shows a graphical view of average EUX Scores. When "All Environments" is selected, each environment's EUX Scores over a selected period of time will be shown. When a specific environment is selected, each Continuous Test's EUX Score over a selected period of time will be shown. |
