Integrating Horizon with the Event Database

You can configure Horizon to record events to a Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL database. Horizon records events such as end-user actions, administrator actions, alerts that report system failures and errors, and statistical sampling.

End-user actions include logging and starting desktop and application sessions. Administrator actions include adding entitlements and creating desktop and application pools. An example of statistical sampling is recording the maximum number of users over a 24-hour period.

You can use business intelligence reporting engines such as Crystal Reports, IBM Cognos, MicroStrategy 9, and Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System to access and analyze the event database.
