      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Easy said to be honest.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I dont find the appropriate tables/data to create such a request.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there some kind of table with statistical data? I cannot query the whole events db for connect, disconnect, etc and count them later.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would just need those numbers as displayed in the admin desktop dashboard for a day (by hour) or a week (by day).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In example:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Day 1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Hour 0&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 300 connected&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 200 disconnected&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 100 available&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 5 agent-unreachable&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Hour 1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 400 connected&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 100 disconnected&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 100 available&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 5 agent-unreachable&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;and so on.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you're just after a number, you should scrape the information using the perfmon counters we install - that will allow you to track the values through time.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can you explain that a little bit? Scrape how?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have over 3500 machines. Is it still viable to use perfmon for this?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I mean the perfmon counter on the connection server, not on each desktop. It will return the current number of connected sessions - you'd need a script to read the values out. That will only give you the session counts though, not other stats.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;The problem with the session count is (if its the same as in the dashboard) that its including disconnected session.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I really would need all the numbers for all the different states by hour. Writing a script wouldn't be an issue. I just would need to know where i find the numbers.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I get your point but that takes like forever for our environment and as you can imagine its so hard to create reports when you have to consider 4 different sources.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My current reporting is already based on LDAP queries, SQL Queries to event_db, vCenter exports and View exports.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The thing is that the event_db is supplying such a nice feature with the concurrent connections entry per day.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We will switch to vCOPS with view 6. Lets see if that is offering what it needs here.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
