Azure Azure Monitor for Azure Virtual Desktop, RDS and Citrix

Notes

For agent version > 2.4.0: The standard version of Azure Monitor for WVD and Citrix will now support all premium features like encryption for secrets, user input delay metrics, and GPU measuring. If the agent is not licensed, a splash screen will appear for a few seconds in any new user session after logging in. If you want to test it in a production environment, ask for a trial key to avoid the splash screens.

You can install a license key on a session host (or template VM) with ITPC-LogAnalyticsAgent.exe -l "< license key >" -s -n Restart the agent with ITPC-LogAnalyticsAgent.exe -e and ITPC-LogAnalyticsAgent.exe -g to take effect.

The older agent is available as well here: 1.3.6.0

Azure consumption

The agent doesn’t need any further infrastructure. You only need an Azure subscription and pay for the uploaded data (Azure pricing). That includes data storage and compute power for your analyzings. You can calculate 0.40$ per user in a "standard" RDS/XenApp environment (average user load: 25 users / server). There is also a free plan available for evaluating Azure Monitor / Log Analytics.

Licensing

We offer the Azure Monitoring Agent for testing and community purposes without any warranty nor support for non-commercial use. Please test the monitoring solution. For commercial use we offer licenses, including premium features, updates, and support for building KUSTO queries.
