The VDI Host Client is the VDI Zoom Meeting client installed on the virtual desktop. Account owners and admins can view account-usage metrics for VDI, using the VDI Host Client and VDI Plugin charts. The Dashboard reports indicate end-of-life risk for older VDI versions and provide detailed individual user reports.

• Version Requires Update: These users are currently using a version that is less than the next smallest version and are recommended to upgrade.
• No Update Required: No update is required for the users’ version.

How to access and understand VDI Dashboard reports

2. On the VDI Host chart, hover your mouse over the metric of which you want more information and click Drill In.
   You will be directed to the VDI Host Versions page.

Access the VDI Plugin Versions reports

2. On the VDI Plugin chart, hover your mouse over the metric of which you want more information and click Drill In.
   You will be directed to the VDI Plugin Versions page.

Understand the VDI Dashboard reports

These reports record the last login for the host client (VDI Meeting client running on the virtual desktop) and update the table every time a user logs in. The VDI Plugin version uses different logic and creates a new entry every time a different version of the VDI Plugin is detected. If someone is using multiple workstations with different versions of the VDI Plugin installed, multiple entries will be displayed for that user. The multiple entries are intentional and indicate when older plugins may need to be updated.

Notes:

• The VDI Host Versions data is independent of the date range set; it shows the most recent data for all users in your account. The VDI Plugin data depends on the date range set.
• The information provided in the new VDI Host Versions report can be used to understand when older versions need to be updated.

View VDI Host Versions data

In the VDI Host Versions report, each time users sign in to their virtual desktop from a different workstation, a new entry is created. There is always a unique entry for each user.
Note: If there is no plugin version, N/A will be recorded (a record must be kept).

On the VDI Host Versions page, you can also view the following user information:

• User Email
• First Name
• Last Name
• VDI Host Version
• Client IP Address
• VDI Plugin Version
• Plugin IP Address
• Last Login Time

View VDI Plugin Versions data

The VDI Plugin report includes a unique entry for every login. You can also search based on time in the drill-in. This chart depends on the date range, meaning that the chart will change when you change the date range.

• User Email
• First Name
• Last Name
• VDI Client Version
• Client IP Address
