Monitor your Microsoft Surface Hub

Monitoring for Microsoft Surface Hub devices is enabled through Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS). The Operations Management Suite is Microsoft's IT management solution that helps you manage and protect your entire IT infrastructure, including your Surface Hubs.

Surface Hub is offered as a Log Analytics solution in OMS, allowing you to collect and view usage and reliability data across all your Surface Hubs. Use the Surface Hub solution to:

• Inventory your Surface Hubs.
• View a snapshot of usage and reliability data for Skype meetings, wired and wireless projection, and apps on your Surface Hubs.
• Create custom alerts to respond quickly if your Surface Hubs report software or hardware issues.

Add Surface Hub to Operations Management Suite

1. Sign in to Operations Management Suite (OMS). You can use either a Microsoft Account or a Work or School account to create a workspace. If your company is already using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), use a Work or School account when you sign in to OMS. Using a Work or School account allows you to use identities from your Azure AD to manage permissions in OMS.

2. Create a new OMS workspace. Enter a name for the workspace, select the workspace region, and provide the email address that you want associated with this workspace. Select Create.

3. Link Azure subscription to your workspace. If your organization already has an Azure subscription, you can link it to your workspace. Note that you may need to request access from your organization’s Azure administrator.

   Note

   If your organization does not have an Azure subscription, create a new one or select the default OMS Azure subscription from the list. Your workspace opens.

4. Add Surface Hub solution. In the Solutions Gallery, select the Surface Hub tile in the gallery and then select Add on the solution’s details page. The solution is now visible on your workspace.

Use the Surface Hub dashboard

From the Overview page in your OMS workspace, click the Surface Hub tile to see the Surface Hub dashboard. Use the dashboard to get a snapshot of usage and reliability data across your Surface Hubs. Click into each view on the dashboard to see detailed data, modify the query as desired, and create alerts.

Note

Most of these views show data for the past 30 days, but this is subject to your subscription's data retention policy.

Active Surface Hubs

Use this view to get an inventory of all your Surface Hubs. Once connected to OMS, each Surface Hub periodically sends a "heartbeat" event to the server. This view shows Surface Hubs that have reported a heartbeat in the past 24 hours.

Wireless projection

Use this view to get usage and reliability data for wireless projection over the past 30 days. The graph shows the total number of wireless connections across all your Surface Hubs, which provides an indication whether people in your organization are using this feature. If it's a low number, it may suggest a need to provide training to help people in your organization learn how to wirelessly connect to a Surface Hub.

Also, the graph shows a breakdown of successful and unsuccessful connections. If you see a high number of unsuccessful connections, devices may not properly support wireless projection using Miracast. For best performance, Microsoft suggests that devices run a WDI Wi-Fi driver and a WDDM 2.0 graphics driver. Use the details view to learn if wireless projection problems are common with particular devices.

When a connection fails, users can also do the following if they are using a Windows laptop or phone:

• Remove the paired device from Settings > Devices > Connected devices, then try to connect again.
• Reboot the device.

Wired projection

Use this view to get usage and reliability data for wired projection over the past 30 days. If the graph shows a high number of unsuccessful connections, it may indicate a connectivity issue in your audio-visual pipeline. For example, if you use a HDMI repeater or a center-of-room control panel, they may need to be restarted.

Application usage

Use this view to get usage data for apps on your Surface Hubs over the past 30 days. The data comes from app launches on your Surface Hubs, not including Skype for Business. This view helps you understand which Surface Hub apps are the most valuable in your organization. If you are deploying new line-of-business apps in your environment, this can also help you understand how often they are being used.

Application Crashes

Use this view to get reliability data for apps on your Surface Hubs over the past 30 days. The data comes from app crashes on your Surface Hubs. This view helps you detect and notify app developers of poorly behaving in-box and line-of-business apps.

Sample Queries

Use this to create custom alerts based on a recommended set of queries. Alerts help you respond quickly if your Surface Hubs report software or hardware issues. For more inforamtion, see Set up alerts using sample queries.

Set up alerts with sample queries

Use alerts to respond quickly if your Surface Hubs report software or hardware issues. Alert rules automatically run log searches according to a schedule, and runs one or more actions if the results match specific criteria. For more information, see Alerts in Log Analytics.

The Surface Hub Log Analytics solution comes with a set of sample queries to help you set up the appropriate alerts and understand how to resolve issues you may encounter. Use them as a starting point to plan your monitoring and support strategy.

This table describes the sample queries in the Surface Hub solution:

Alert type	Impact	Recommended remediation	Details
Software	Error	Reboot the device. Reboot manually, or using the Reboot configuration service provider. Suggest doing this between meetings to minimize impact to your people in your organization.	Trigger conditions: - A critical process in the Surface Hub operating system, such as the shell, projection, or Skype, crashes or becomes non-responsive. - The device hasn't reported a heartbeat in the past 24 hours. This may be due to network connectivity issue or network-related hardware failure, or an error with the telemetry reporting system.
Software	Error	Check your Exchange service. Verify: - The service is available. - The device account password is up to date – see Password management for details.	Triggers when there's an error syncing the device calendar with Exchange.
