The Load Capacity Usage percentage, or Load Evaluator Index, for a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or DaaS multi session machine delivery group, represents the percentage of resources allocated to that delivery group, that is in use by virtual desktop or application sessions. It is the ratio between the sum of all measured Load Indexes, and the sum of all maximum Load Indexes for the multi session machines in the delivery group. A Load Index represents the load on a multi session machine.
