Status monitoring metrics
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.
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 If your experience differs from what is described here, you may be using a different client type or an outdated version.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:
|
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.
