WorkSpaces Performance Monitor Agent

*RECOMMENDED FOR FULL FUNCTIONALITY | The WorkSpaces Performance Monitor Agent requires .NET 4.6.2 or above.

The WorkSpaces Performance Monitor Agent gathers information for both user and WorkSpace Metrics.

The Agent installer (‘WSM Performance Monitor.msi’) can be found in “D:\WorkSpaceAgent” on the WSM appliance.

The Agent requires registry keys value to be present to locate the database on the appliance. These keys are in D:\WorkSpaceAgent\nuvens.reg and are as follows:

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Nuvens]
“UpdateFrequency”=“60”
“Portal”=“http://10.0.1.2”
“Frequency”=dword:00000005
“IdleMinutes”=dword:00000015
“Visible”=“false”

“Portal” – Replace with http://DNS-FQDN” or “http://IP” address of your portal

“Frequency” = The value data is a numeric value of minutes (e.g. ‘5’ where the Agent reports back to the database every 5 minutes with metrics. You can change this frequency to a greater value, if you have a large estate, as a lot of information will be stored in the database).

*The best way to deploy the registry settings and the application is via a Group Policy or by using a distribution tool of your choice (such as Microsoft SCCM). It can be also installed in the default golden image/bundle.

In Group Policy Manager Create a new Group policy on the OU containing the AWS WorkSpaces. Under Computer Configuration expand Policies:
• Expand Software Settings under Computer Configuration
• Right-click Software Installation, select the ‘New’ from the context menu and then click on Package
• In the Open dialog type the full UNC path of the shared package you want to assign
• Click on the Open button
• Click on Assigned and then click OK (the package will be added to the right pane of the “Group Policy” window)

The required Registry values can be added on the same Group Policy. Under Computer Configuration expand Preferences:
• Expand Windows Settings under Preferences
• Right-click Registry and create new registry item

a) Create the “Portal” registry value with the key [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Nuvens]
• The value name is “Portal” of type REG_SZ.
• The value data is http (or https) and the IP address (or DNS address) of your WorkSpaces Manager appliance. (e.g. http://wsmportal).

b) Create the “Frequency” registry value with the key [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Nuvens]
• The value name is “Frequency” of type REG_DWORD (32-bit)
• The value data is a numeric value of minutes (i.e. 5 (decimal) where the Agent reports back to the database every 5 minutes with metrics. You can change this frequency to an increased value if you have a large estate as a lot of information will be stored in the database).

c) Create the “UpdateFrequency” registry value with the key [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Nuvens]
• The value name is “Frequency” of type REG_SZ (32-bit)
• The value data is 60

d) Create the “IdleMinutes” registry value with the key [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Nuvens]
• The value name is “IdleMinutes” of type REG_DWORD (32-bit)
• The value data is 15 (decimal)

e) Create the “False” registry value with the key [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Nuvens]
• The value name is “Visible” of type REG_SZ
• The value data is “false”
