The Servers tab

The Servers tab lives on the right-hand pane of the main window. It shows one row per server in your computer list, with live performance and session counters across 29 columns.

Layout

• Row - one Remote Desktop Services host. The leftmost column shows its name and description; the remaining columns show metrics that update on a timer.
• Header - click a column heading to sort by that column; click again to reverse the sort order. Right-click any heading to open the column header menu, where you can show or hide a column or open the column settings dialog.
• Splitter - a horizontal bar separates the server tree from the graph panel below it. Drag the bar to give more space to either pane.

Status icons

The name column shows a small icon next to each server. A colored icon means the last refresh succeeded; a greyed-out icon means the server is unreachable. Hover the row to see the last error.

A computer that is not a Remote Desktop Services host (for example, a workstation listed for inventory) reports its session and process counts as zero and most metrics stay blank. Use Configure Remote Desktop from the context menu to turn a machine into an RDS host.

Selection

• Click a row to select that server. The graph panel below redraws to show its metrics.
• Ctrl+click or Shift+click to extend the selection. Server actions (Refresh, Restart, and so on) apply to every selected server.
• The checkbox at the start of each row is independent of selection. The graph series for a server is drawn only while its checkbox is on.
