VMware App Volumes - App Volumes User Details Report

Use the App Volumes User Details report to analyze the space consumed by each user from the assigned Writable volumes, detect the variations in the volume mount count periodically and determine the state of the writable volumes over a period of time. This report will help administrators in identifying the times during which the writable volumes were detached from the user.

To generate this report, do the following:

1. Follow the menu sequence: REPORTS BY FUNCTION -> Domain-specific Reports -> Virtual Applications / Desktops (VMware Horizon Reports) -> VMware App Volumes -> App Volumes User Details.

2. Figure 1 then appears. In Figure 1, select a criteria for analysis from the Analyze By list box.

3. Using this report, you can figure out the details of users accessing one/more managed VMware App Volumes Manager components, or those that are part of a zone, service or segment. The options provided by the Analyze By list box are discussed hereunder:

   • Component: Select this option to choose the component(s) from across all the managed components in the environment.
   • Zone: To generate a report for one/more components that are included in a zone, pick the Zone option. A Zone drop-down list will then appear, from which you would have to select the zone to which the components of interest to you belong. A Sub zone flag also appears. Indicate whether the components present within the sub-zones of the chosen zone are also to be to be considered for report generation, by setting the Sub zone flag to Yes.
   • Segment: If you want to generate a report for one/more chosen components that belong to a segment, select the Segment option from Analyze By list box, and then pick the Segment from the drop-down list that appears.
   • Service: If you want to generate a report for one/more components involved in the delivery of a service, select the Service option from Analyze By, and then pick the required Service from the drop-down list that appears.
4. By default, VMware App Volumes Manager component will be chosen from the Component Type list.
5. The Component list will now be populated with all the components that are managed in your environment for the chosen component type. If the Components list consists of too many components, then viewing all the components and selecting the ones you need for report generation could require endless scrolling. To avoid this, you can click the button next to the Components list. A Components pop up window will then appear using which you can view almost all the components in a single interface and Select the ones to be included in this report.
6. Finally, click the Run Report button to generate the report.

7. Figure 2 will then appear.

   From the generated report, administrators can analyze the space consumed by each user from the assigned Writable volumes, detect the variations in the volume mount count periodically and determine the state of the writable volumes over a period of time. This report will also help administrators determine if the writable volume is attached / detached. If the writable volume is detached, administrators can further analyze the times during which the writable volumes remained detached.
