Which devices are connected to a virtual machine?
Is it possible for ViPR SRM to detect (and report) what kind of device is connected to a VM? For instance, reporting whether it is a Chromebook, Windows, iOS device, etc?

I don't think there is a SP for Terminal Services so you wont get it out of box, but I have used watch4net to graph RDP terminal activity and related TS metrics before so it is possible.
The terminal server makes some of the attributes of the connected clients accessible:
build number
client directory
client product id
you would need to create a PTF that maps to the OS that is expected to run each build number, you can retrieve the detail using RSC or stream collector. In my case I had a custom collector running on the Terminal server sending variables direct to backend (not the best idea but it was a few years ago).

Using your method, would you be able to see, for instance, the name and OS of the devices connected to a virtual machine in the past month?

Sure , make a metric that is either 0 or 100 which is 100 when a user is logged in zero or more easily simply no value when they are not logged in . then you would make a table that displays the properties you want if the users activity was above 0 for any period during the month otherwise do not display.

What do you mean by PTF? And do you have an xml report template that you could provide by chance?
