Turn on rules to collect performance data

The Remote Desktop Services Management Pack is installed with most of the rules that collect performance data disabled by default. To collect performance data, you can use overrides to turn on the performance rules that you want.

Note

Turning on performance rules increases network traffic and might degrade performance on servers with slow connections.

To collect performance data

  1. In the Operations Console, click Authoring.

  2. Expand Management Pack Objects, and then click Rules.

    Note

    To only show rules for the Remote Desktop Services Management Pack, click Scope, and select the check boxes for the Remote Desktop Services components.

  3. Right-click the performance-measuring rule that you want, point to Overrides, point to Override the Rule, and then click For all objects of type: <type of object>.

  4. In the Override column, select the Enabled check box.

  5. In the Override Setting column, click True, and then click OK.
