VMware EUC – Horizon, UAG, VIDM and AppVolumes – NSX Load Balancing – Health Check Monitors

2 Feb

There is no single place to find a consolidated list of Load balancer health check monitors (aka Service Monitors in NSX) for the VMware EUC products:

I have been using VMware NSX load balancer across the board. The below details will provide an overview of what to enter for the health monitors. Note – If you are using something more meaningful  for your environment leave feedback in the comments section. I will try to implement the same and update the blog later.

VMware Unified Access Gateway (UAG)

Create a new Service Monitor under NSX and call is UAG_https_monitor. Refer to the screenshot for more details.

Create a new Service Monitor under NSX and call is VIDM_https_monitor. Refer to the screenshot for more details.

VMware Horizon Connection Servers

Update 13th Sep 2021 – For all Horizon version 7.10 and above please start using the following service monitor within NSX.

You can use this string for versions 7.7 or upto 7.10. Create a new Service Monitor under NSX and call is Horizon_https_monitor. Refer to the screenshot for more details.

I hope you will find these monitors useful in monitoring the VMware EUC products.

    Do any of these monitors focus on the service being available versus the VM being up?
