Performance PCoIP Alarms

This article lists the Performance: PCoIP alarms of a role, with what each alarm monitors and its factory defaults. PC-over-IP (PCoIP) performance counters come from the PCoIP session statistics of the monitored system itself, for example a virtual desktop.

The Performance: PCoIP category is on the Alarms tab of a role (Configure > System Configuration > Roles). To turn these alarms on and change their limits, times, and profiles, see Configure Alarms in a Role.

In the example alarm configuration called out below: If Audio TX BW is higher than 250 kbit/sec for 120 seconds, a Yellow level alarm is triggered. If Audio TX BW is higher than 500 kbit/sec for 240 seconds, a Red level alarm is triggered.

Performance PCoIP Alarms and Defaults

The Default column shows the factory values. A role can change them. In the PCoIP alarm names, RX means received, TX means transmitted, and BW means bandwidth.
