Microsoft RDS monitoring

Native RDSH management often lacks visibility into fine-grained performance metrics, and provides only a limited set of remediation actions.

ControlUp lets administrators get to the root cause of issues fast, providing a rich, yet straightforward management experience for RDS administrators. They benefit from a real-time view into performance metrics for servers, user sessions, and processes, as well as a unified dashboard for Hyper-V and any other hypervisors.

In a typical RDS deployment, it’s common for a single user session to negatively impact others on the same server. ControlUp lets Microsoft RDSH administrators view the data they need to instantly pinpoint the root cause of performance issues across multiple compute layers, and take action to restore service without delay.

ControlUp presents IT teams with a logical view of their environments that significantly reduces complexity, coupled with a wide variety of powerful troubleshooting tools. Administrators can easily compare the Windows configurations of a working and non-working RDS server to quickly isolate the element causing an application to fail. ControlUp also makes it possible to quickly analyze stress levels for any metric of any system being monitored. And once the root case of an issue is identified, your IT team can quickly take the appropriate steps to restore service.

ControlUp offers a variety of contextual management actions that enable efficient application troubleshooting of user-related issues. For example, “Kill Policy” temporarily removes Group Policy restrictions that lockdown an end-user’s desktop, providing a quick way to change settings and run commands inside a restricted user session.

It’s vital for IT teams to stay on top of issues that affect user experience—poor application response times, slow logon duration—and others and fix them quickly.

When performance thresholds are met or crossed, ControlUp alerts teams via email or push notifications on their mobile device. Administrators can use ControlUp’s real-time view to pinpoint issues and take immediate action to remedy them.

Providing real-time data is among ControlUp’s greatest strengths. But sometimes, you need to see what happened in the past. This is helpful when your team needs to get to the source of any historical problems, but also spot trends that will help you map our your IT strategy.

ControlUp Insights offers a wealth of reports and actionable insights, including user activity, user experience, application activity, resource consumption, system health, licensing, and more to help your team achieve their goals.
