Configuring General Settings

You can use the Horizon Universal Console to manage general settings, which are settings related to your organization. To do so, click Settings from the Horizon Universal Console and then click Manage in the General Settings section of the Settings page.

Configure the Horizon Cloud Console Timeout Period

Since many tasks take longer than the default Horizon Cloud Console timeout period, you can configure the console timeout period to suit the needs of your organization.

1. In the Horizon Universal Console, select Settings > General and then select Manage from the General Settings tile.

2. On the General Settings page, specify a value of between 30 and 180 minutes in the Horizon Cloud Console timeout field.

Allow or Disallow Omnissa Operations to Collect Diagnotic Logs

When you log in to the Horizon Universal Console or you perform the initial onboarding to Horizon Cloud, you are presented with a dialog box explaining the purpose of this feature. Providing your acknowledgment opts you in to the feature, allowing Omnissa Operations to collect diagnostic logs from your VMs. You can choose to opt-out of the feature at any time.

Before proceeding, review the background information about diagnostic logs. See Collecting Diagnostic Logs.

1. On the General Settings page, turn on the Enable access to diagnostic logs option.

2. Click I Understand to the Omnissa Operations team to generate and access diagnostic logs on VMs as required to help resolve a specific issue.

   

After you click I Understand, if you decide to disallow Omnissa Operations from generating and collecting diagnostic logs, you can select to disallow access.

Note: For Microsoft Azure Edges, creating a pool, by default, allows Omnissa Operations access to diagnostic logs on VMs, unless you opt out. You are notified by email and by notification. Notifications are available by selecting the bell () icon in the Horizon Cloud banner.

Configure Microsoft Azure Key Vault Settings

For Microsoft Azure Edges, you can configure the Microsoft Azure Key Vault Settings.

Azure Key Vaults are created when disk encryption is turned on for a pool in a Microsoft Azure Edge. By configuring Azure Key Vault Settings, you can enable the following Azure Key Vault settings:

• Soft delete (cannot be changed unless your tenant contains legacy Key Vaults. Once turned on, soft delete cannot be turned off.)
• Purge protection
• Retention period

1. In the Horizon Universal Console, select Settings > General and then select Manage from the General Settings tile.

2. On the General Settings page, configure the Microsoft Azure Key Vault Settings to suit the needs of your organization.

   • Purge protection: Toggle on this option to retain keys for the configured retention period.
   • Retention period: Define the number of days from 7 to 90.

3. Click Save.
