This extension consumes DDUs. The DDU formula per year is:

3 + <number of ad_domains> + <number_of_protocols> + <number_of_connection_servers> + <number_of_farms> + <number_of_gateways> + (3 * <number of RDS>) * 525.6

Metrics

• AD Connection Status (per Active Directory domain)
• Connections
• Tunnel connections
• Protocol sessions (per protocol)
• Replication status (per peer connection server)
• Database status
• Farm status (per farm)
• Gateway status (per gateway)
• RDS status (per RDS)
• RDS load preference (per RDS)
• RDS sessions (per RDS)

Requirements

The Extension must be installed both on a OneAgent-monitored Host and on the Dynatrace Cluster. See Deploy the extension in our full documentation for more details.

1. Install the Extension on a OneAgent-monitored Host

Extract the extension zip file to the plugin_deployment folder at the root of the OneAgent installation.

Linux:

• A default installation can be done with the following command: unzip -o -d /opt/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/plugin_deployment custom.python.vmware_horizon.zip
• Adjust the path if the OneAgent was installed somewhere other than /opt/dynatrace

Windows:

• Unzip the Extension to: C:\Program Files (x86)\dynatrace\oneagent\plugin_deployment
• Adjust the path if the OneAgent was installed somewhere other than C:\Program Files (x86)\dynatrace

2. Upload the Extension to the Dynatrace Cluster via UI in the browser

Upload the same extension zip file to your tenant. The Extension configuration and upload UI is located at:

Settings > Monitored technologies > Custom extensions > Upload extension

Configuration

VMWare Horizon monitoring will not collect metrics until you enter credentials for either a global or host configuration.

The required properties are:

• API URL
• API Username
• API Password
• API Domain

Optionally collect:

• AD Domain metrics
• Connection Server metrics
• Event Database metrics
• Farms metrics
• RDS Servers metrics
• Gateway metrics

The Extension logs are located on the OneAgent-monitored Host at %PROGRAMDATA%/dynatrace/log/plugin (Windows) or /var/log/dynatrace/oneagent/plugin/ (Linux) provide more details in case of a failure.

The most recent ruxitagent_pluginagent_###.log file will contain logging information related to the custom.python.vmware_horizon Extension.
