Prior to creating VMware Horizon View agents, it is critical to configure the servers to be monitored. There are a few settings that must be made before the agents can successfully collect data. These steps should be done on each relevant host prior to running the Discover View Instances wizard or manually creating VMware Horizon View agents.
When using the Discover View Instances wizard to create VMware Horizon View monitoring agents, several agents are created:

For a list of problems that you might encounter while monitoring your environment using Foglight for VMware Horizon View, and solutions available to troubleshoot these problems, see Troubleshoot agent collection problems.
To correctly configure the view agent, the following information must be identified:
• |
The domain user account to be used for monitoring. This user does not need any special domain privileges, but must be in the local administrators group of each Connection Server to be monitored. |
b |
c |
Click Add User or Group and add the newly created domain user. |
d |
Select Administrators (Read only) role to this domain user. |
e |
Remote connect to the Connection Server. Using the Server Manager, click Configuration > Local Users and Groups > Groups > Administrators, and right click to open the Administrators Properties dialog box. Add the newly created domain user to the Administrators group. |
• |
The Key Distribution Center (KDC). If choosing to monitor the environment using WinRM (recommended), the Kerberos authentication is used. Kerberos is enabled by default in all Windows® domains, and all domain controllers act as KDCs. It is usually sufficient to specify just the domain in the agent settings, MyDomain.local, instead of the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a domain controller, MyDC.MyDomain.local. However, to ensure that the agent uses a specific domain controller as the KDC, use its FQDN. |
• |
The Event Database password. The VMware Horizon View agent monitors the View Event Database. You must know the password for the Event Database to completely configure the VMware Horizon View agent. To confirm this password, go to View Configuration > Event Configuration in the VMware View Administrator instance. |
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Lsa/Kerberos/Parameters
Value Name: allowTGTSessionKey
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Name resolution must work from the Agent Manager host to the View Connection Server.
The Agent Manager must be configured to access port 389 of the target Connection Server if not using SSL.

In addition to this Powershell configuration, the Connection Server must also be configured for either WinRM or DCOM as described in Host configuration (WinRM) and Host configuration (DCOM).
