This is crucial to load-testing, base-lining and overall performance tuning. Additionally, most of the metrics are crowd-sourced like the rest of the CloudReady Sensors so that you can see how your RDS, Terminal Services or XenApp compares to other Exoprise Customer’s environments. The RDP Sensor can do this once every 5 minutes from locations behind the firewall or out in the cloud.Īlong with exercising the RDP services and stack, the sensor captures the timings and availability of how long the different operations take. In a nutshell, the CloudReady RDP sensor signs into remote sessions, optionally through a Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway), and automates the launch of an application just how a user would. Now you can monitor RDS performance alongside all of your cloud/SaaS apps, inside-out, outside-in all from the same single-pane-of-glass. Now with the release of our new CloudReady RDP Sensor, customers can proactively monitor Microsoft Remote Desktop Services and Citrix XenApp environments with the same ease as they monitor their cloud services. And our customers have asked for the ability to monitor Remote Desktop Services and perform load-testing for RDS. Often, applications like Office 365 and Outlook are delivered via RDS or XenApp environments for security and control. Frequently, we have customers that use CloudReady to monitor Office 365 within Remote Desktop Services (RDS) environments. This article describes the new CloudReady RDP Sensor that can be used to monitor Remote Desktop Services (formerly known as Terminal Services), Remote Desktops, RDP Performance and even Citrix XenApp.
