View Integration

This guide describes how to integrate View™ software with third-party software such as Windows PowerShell, business intelligence reporting engines, and Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM).

Intended Audience

This book is intended for anyone who wants to customize or integrate software to work with View. The information in this manual is written for experienced Windows or Linux system administrators who are familiar with virtual machine technology and datacenter operations.

VMware, Inc. 7

Introduction

With View, system administrators can provision desktops and control user access to these desktops. Client software connects users to virtual machines running in VMware vSphere™, or to physical systems running within your network environment. In addition, View administrators can configure Remote Desktop Services (RDS) hosts to provide View desktop and application sessions to client devices.

This chapter includes the following topics:

 “View Components” on page 9

 “Integration Interfaces to View” on page 10

View Components

You can use View with VMware vCenter Server to create desktops from virtual machines that are running on VMware ESX RDS hosts to deploy desktops and applications to end users. View uses your existing Active Directory infrastructure for user authentication and management.

After you create a desktop or application, authorized end users can use Web-based or locally installed client software to securely connect to centralized virtual machines, back-end physical systems, or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) hosts.

or VMware ESXi™ hosts and deploy these desktops to end users. You can also install View on

View consists of the following major components:

 View Connection Server – a software service that acts as a broker for client connections by authenticating

and then directing incoming user requests to the appropriate virtual machine, physical system, or Remote Desktop Services (RDS) host.

 View Agent – a software service that is installed on all guest virtual machines, physical systems, or RDS

hosts in order to allow them to be managed by View. The agent provides features such as connection monitoring, Virtual Printing, USB support, and single sign-on.

 Horizon Client – a software application that communicates with View Connection Server to allow users

to connect to their desktops.

 View Administrator – a Web application that allows View administrators to configure View Connection

Server, deploy desktop and application pools, manage machines, control user authentication, initiate and examine system events, and carry out analytical activities.

 vCenter Server – a server that acts as a central administrator for ESX/ESXi hosts that are connected on a

network. A vCenter Server provides the central point for configuring, provisioning, and managing virtual machines in the datacenter.

 View Composer – a software service that is installed on a vCenter server to allow View to rapidly deploy

multiple linked-clone desktops from a single centralized base image.

VMware, Inc. 9

View Integration

Integration Interfaces to View

You can use several interfaces to integrate View with external applications.

 Event database – you can configure View to record events to a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database.

You can then use business intelligence reporting engines to access and analyze this database.

 View PowerCLI – you can use the PowerShell interface to perform a wide variety of administration tasks

on View components.

 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) – you can export and import LDAP configuration data

from and into View. You can create scripts that update this configuration data without accessing View Administrator directly.

 Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) – you can monitor the operations of View

components from the SCOM console.

 Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) – you can examine performance statistics for a PCoIP

session.

10 VMware, Inc.

Integrating with the Event Database

You can configure View to record events to a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database. View records events such as the following examples:

 End-user actions such as logging in and starting a desktop or application session.

 Administrator actions such as adding entitlements and creating desktop or application pools.

 Alerts that report system failures and errors.

 Statistical sampling such as 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.

This chapter includes the following topics:

 “Event Database Tables and Schemas” on page 11

 “Connection Broker Events” on page 13

 “View Agent Events” on page 19

 “View Administrator Events” on page 19

 “Event Message Attributes” on page 26

 “Sample Database Queries and Views” on page 28

Event Database Tables and Schemas

Tab le 2-1 shows the tables that implement the event database in View.

Tabl e 2-1. Event Database Tables

Table Name Description

event Metadata and search optimization data for recent events.

event_data Data values for recent events.

event_data_historical Data values for all events.

event_historical Metadata and search optimization data for all events.

The event database prepends the names of these tables with a prefix that you define when you set up the database. See the View Installation document for more information.

IMPORTANT View does not restrict the growth of the event_historical and event_data_historical tables. You must implement a space management policy for these tables.

VMware, Inc. 11

View Integration

View records details about events to all the database tables. After a certain period of time has elapsed since writing an event record, View deletes the record from the event and event_data tables. You can use View Administrator to configure the time period for which the database keeps a record in the event and event_data tables. See the View Installation document for more information.

database is not running. For a solution that avoids this problem see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1021461.

A unique primary key, EventID, identifies each event that View records in the event and event_historical tables. View records data values for each event in the event_data and event_data_historical tables. You can obtain the complete set of information for an event by joining the event and event_data tables or the event_ historical and event_data_historical tables on the EventID column.

The EventType, Severity, and Time columns in the event and event_historical tables identify the type and severity of an event and the time at which it occurred.

Tab le 2-2 shows the schema for the event and event_historical tables.

Connection Broker Events

Tab le 2-4 shows the event types for the connection broker.

The BROKER_DAILY_MAX_DESKTOP_SESSIONS event reports the maximum number of concurrent desktop sessions over a 24-hour period. If a user runs multiple desktop sessions concurrently, each desktop session is counted separately. The BROKER_DAILY_MAX_APP_USERS event reports the maximum number of concurrent application users over a 24-hour period. If a user runs multiple applications concurrently, the user is counted only once. Short-lived sessions might not be included in the count because the sampling is performed every five minutes.

The BROKER_VC_DISABLED and BROKER_VC_ENABLED events report the state of of the vCenter driver that View uses to track a vCenter Server. The BROKER_VC_STATUS_* events report the state of a vCenter Server.
