Christiaan_Brinkhoff Really cool!
In WVD Fall 2019 I used "Get-RdsDiagnosticActivities" to get similar data but in the new version, this cmdlet does not exist. Do you know if we will have a new cmdlet compatible with WVD 2020?

Thanks 😉

for the ARM version of WVD we rely fully on the much broader capabilities of Log Analytics. To just get WVD related diagnostics data, you can have a look at this article that describes the configuration:

  Thanks for the info 😉
  
  I understand Log Analytics is powerful solution to get information about WVD but I'm asking if I can get some information that I obtained in WVD v1 with Powershell, for example, last connections. Is there any alternative that is not Log Analytics?

    As part of the diagnostic settings, you can also write the data to an Azure storage account or stream it to an event hub.
