Azure Monitor for Windows Virtual Desktop is generally available!

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Azure Monitor for Windows Virtual Desktop is now generally available! Building on top of Azure Monitor, Windows Virtual Desktop Insights provides IT administrators with a 360° view of their environment’s health.  

 

With Azure Monitor for Windows Virtual Desktop, you can find and troubleshoot problems in the deployment, view the status and health of host pools, diagnose user feedback and understand resource utilization.  

 

Azure Monitor for Windows Virtual Desktop is available in the Windows Virtual Desktop hub under Insights

General availability comes with many improvements, including the following:  

  • Improved data collection and new guidance to help you optimize for cost 
  • Updated setup experience with easier UI, expanded support for VM set-up, automated Windows Event Log setup, and more 
  • Relocated Windows Virtual Desktop agent warnings and errors at the top of the Host Diagnostics page to help you prioritize issues with the highest impact 
  • Accessibility enhancements
  • Workbook versioning: GA release is Version 1.0.0 

For our existing users- if you used Azure Monitor for Windows Virtual Desktop in public preview, we have made some updates to our guidance and default configuration to help reduce your Azure Monitor Log Analytics cost in GA. If you haven’t already, you must take action to implement these revised recommendations. See our blog post for instructions.  

 

We are incredibly excited about this major milestone and are looking forward to continuing to provide updates and expand scenario support in our monitoring journey. As always, we welcome your comments and feedback below! 

 

Best,  

Logan Silliman
