Session Activity Report

Grid Presets

The report grid has presets to display different kinds of user session information. Select a preset at the top-right of the report grid. By default, the grid is sorted by logoff time in descending order.

New Column Presets

Session CVAD, Session UX, Session Client, and Session Horizon are new column presets added to this data pipeline report.

Session CVAD shows information related to the initiation and duration of a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops session, such as logon duration and profile load time.

Session Activity shows information related to the initiation and duration of the session, such as logon duration and total session duration.
Session Resources shows the resource usage of the session, such as CPU, RAM, and IOPS.

Session UX shows information that indicates how the session performed for the end user, such as protocol latency and application load time.

Session Client shows information that indicates how the session performed for the client, such as NIC speed of the client.

Session Horizon shows information related to the initiation and duration of a VMware Horizon session, such as logon duration and profile load time.
