One feature I'd really love to see would be to have all of the AVD Insights for a client appear directly inside NMM on the monitoring page, rather than just a link that redirects you to the azure portal. This would helpful so that we could provide access to those insights to both our helpdesk team and to the client without having to deal with getting them specific access to that azure subscription and instructing them on how to navigate to the AVD insights area.
In the meantime I'd settle for the monitoring link in NMM to be changed to send you to a customer's tenant/subscription specific AVD insights location (so to portal.azure.com/<@customertenant>/#view/Microsoft_Azure_WVD/WvdManagerMenuBlade/~/insights where <@customertenant> was the clients specific azure domain instead of just portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_WVD_/WvdManagerMenuBlade/insights) so that the browser tab would try to load that client's specific AVD insights rather than bring you into just whatever azure environment is currently logged into (which for us is usually our own) and then having to navigate to the clients.
AVD insights directly in NMM
It will make monitoring the enviroment a lot easier. Especially if you can directly see, without having to open the workspace analytics:
- Logon time's;
- Brokering time's
- Logon error's;
- Logon location or IP;
- User per core ratio;
- Remote desktop client version;
- Load on the machines (cpu/ram/diskqueue).
Definitely will be a great addition to Nerdio!
To Nerdio's credit, they have started bringing some of this information to Nerdio with the User Session Round Trip Time feature that was included in the v4.9 release!
They now have the Round Trip Time and Connection Event Information (i.e. when they connected, disconnected, and how long they've been idle) in the Sessions screen (and the Global Views).
It will be great to get the other items that Jim pointed out.
Jim,
A consideration for your team is to look at Azure Lighthouse. This doesn't make the more direct connection that you are describing, but it allows your own tenant (when configured appropriately) to have granular delegated access (not the same as GDAP) to your customer azure subscriptions (not necessarily tenants). It makes it a more smooth transition to go from NMM to the linked location and get to each customers insights blades.
That said - I still like the idea of grabbing more data to bring back into NMM, but respect Nerdio having to balance load with value to the user :-) I for one would relatively happily scale up a size on the App Service if we had more data flexibility to view in NMM.
