Configuring Horizon Edge Agent Data Monitoring for Horizon Edge with Workspace ONE

For Horizon Agent version 2212 or later, you can enable Horizon Agent monitoring for Horizon Edge (Horizon 8 and Microsoft Azure) to collect metrics from the VMs that are displayed on Workspace ONE and Horizon Universal Console.

Procedure

1. Log into your vCenter console.

2. Download and install Horizon Agent.

   • For Horizon Agent version 2212, download the Horizon Agent and perform a silent installation that includes passing the parameter HORIZON_MONITOR_ENABLED=1, for example, horizon.exe /s /v “/qn HORIZON_MONITOR_ENABLED=1”. For more information, see the Silent Installation Properties for Horizon Agent topic in the Windows Desktops and Applications in Horizon 8 product documentation.

   • For Horizon Agent version 2303 or later, download and install Horizon Agent. For 2303, Horizon Agent version monitoring is enabled by default and your data will be sent to Workspace ONE cloud.

     Note: If you do not want the agent to collect metrics and deactivate monitoring, contact Customer Support.

3. Restart the virtual machine.

4. For Horizon Agent version 2212 only, go to the registry and check if the flag, HKLM\Software\<name>\<name> HzMon\enabled=1, is enabled.

5. Confirm that you can see the session and VM utilization data on the Workspace ONE dashboard and Horizon Universal Console.

For Horizon 8 Edge deployments, if you do not see the Horizon 8 session data for a particular Horizon Edge, ensure that Agent Monitoring is enabled for that Edge. See Horizon Edge Details for information about checking the Horizon Edge Gateway details section to see if Agent Monitoring is enabled. If not, edit the Horizon 8 Edge to enable the Agent Monitoring feature.
