For the workload question, when users could have different types of workloads, I would suggest multiple host pools where you can tune the idle logoff policy specific for the workload. If the workload requires a process intense activity w/o any user interaction, you can increase the logoff time.

Thanks both, great to see the background on this for AVD, appreciate the info!

This is really good. I have this setup in my environment, but I feel that you need a degree to work out what is going on. Also some errors are difficult to decipher.

Hi there! In general, the data will still be retained for the retention interval you have configured for your Log Analytics workspace. However, we only show live data in the overview area for session hosts that are still in existence.
