This topic describes how to view and interpret status monitoring metrics in your cloud desktop session, including CPU load, network latency, frame rate, resolution, image quality, uplink bandwidth, downlink bandwidth, traffic, and protocol type.

Important

The following examples use macOS client version 8.5.3. If your experience differs from what is described here, you may be using a different client type or an outdated version. We recommend upgrading to the latest version.

Procedure

  • Open the metrics bar: In your cloud computer, open DesktopAssistant and click Metrics.

  • Switch the display mode of the metrics bar: The first time you open the metrics bar, it opens in simple mode by default, displaying fewer metrics. Click the icon on the right of the metrics bar to switch to detailed mode and view all metrics. Click the icon to switch back to simple mode.

  • Close the metrics bar: Click the icon on the right of the bar.

Metrics

Parameter

Description

CPU load

Indicates the current CPU load. Higher utilization darkens the background color of the metric. If the color turns red, the CPU is overloaded. Pause or close low-priority processes.

Latency

Includes the following two metrics:

  • Local network latency: The network delay between the client and the Alibaba Cloud Workspace gateway. This value reflects your local network quality and matches the latency shown in DesktopAssistant.

  • Latency from the client to the cloud computer: Measures the round-trip time (RTT) it takes for a command to be sent from the client to the cloud computer over the ASP channel and for a response to be received. This metric affects the interactive responsiveness of your cloud computer session.

FPS

Indicates the number of frames displayed per second. A higher FPS results in smoother visuals and a better user experience.

To configure the FPS, open DesktopAssistant and go to Settings > Preferences > Graphic.

Resolution

The current display resolution of the cloud computer.

To configure the resolution, open DesktopAssistant and go to Settings > Preferences > Display.

Image quality

Indicates the visual quality of the cloud computer session. Higher image quality provides clearer visuals but requires more device and network resources.

To configure image quality, open DesktopAssistant and go to Settings > Preferences > Graphic.

Upstream

Indicates the data transfer rate for your upstream connection.

Downstream

Indicates the data transfer rate for your downstream connection.

Traffic

Indicates the total data transferred during the current session. This value resets when you start a new session.

Protocol type

Indicates the stream and transport types used for the session.

  • Stream type: Includes CMD (QXL command stream), Video (video stream), and Hybrid (mixed stream).

  • Transport type: Includes TCP and UDP.
