Question

You deployed Azure Virtual Desktop Insights for a pooled host pool. The Overview and Connection Diagnostics tabs display data correctly, but the Host Performance tab shows no CPU, memory, or disk data for any session host. Diagnostic settings for the host pool and workspace are correctly sending data to a Log Analytics workspace. What must you do to populate the Host Performance tab?

Accepted Answer

Install the Azure Monitor Agent on each session host and configure a Data Collection Rule that collects the required Windows performance counters into the Log Analytics workspace.

Answer

Enable diagnostic settings on each session host virtual machine to send platform metrics to the same Log Analytics workspace.

Answer

Add the application group and workspace resources to the AVD Insights configuration so their diagnostics flow to Log Analytics.

Answer

Increase the data retention period on the Log Analytics workspace to at least 90 days so performance samples are retained.
