Pano System for Cloud Administrator's Guide - Pano Logic

Monitor Your System
There are two tools available that you can use to monitor your system. In addition, you can
configure email alerts to be sent when certain issues arise. Refer to Set Up Alert Notifications for
details on email alerts.
The Log Tab
The Log tab can be used to check
for activity in Pano Desktop for
Cloud sessions. The entries show
activities on the Controller, such
as admin logins, and in the
connections to each endpoint,
starting with the most recent
events. You can control the order
or the display by checking the
‘Show Most Recent’ checkboxes
in the tab header.
To save the log entries for later
review you can click on the
‘Download’ button and specify
where to save the file. Log
entries are exported as .zip, and
include a Status.html file showing
the Controller status.
Monitor Resource Consumption
Although not required to either deploy or manage the Pano System for Cloud, you may
occasionally want to check on resource usage by your cloud desktops. For example, you may be
having a problem with responsiveness of the cloud desktops and not know whether you have
overloaded the CPU, RAM, or network bandwidth. You may be doing server capacity planning to
prepare for new server purchases or an expanded deployment of cloud desktops. In either case it
can be helpful both to track the demands on resources and to understand which parts of your
users’ workloads are using these resources.
Pano Controller for Cloud does not currently provide any direct view into resource consumption by
the cloud desktops and user workloads. (This will be addressed in a future release.) Instead you’ll
need to use one of two options to get this information:
• Chrome Task Manager is used to see the level of resource consumption of each user. It gives a
detailed view of how specific user workloads from web pages, applications or browser
extensions use memory, CPU, and network resources. It also has an option to drill down to
more detailed resource statistics.
• Linux shell commands to can help you monitor resource use by all Pano Controller for Cloud
processes, including cloud desktops. This option requires direct access to the Ubuntu server
command line on the Pano Controller for Cloud server.
