Hi Olayinka, 

Are you looking for the number of connections through that virtual server, or for specific usernames/other information about the connections? 

The number of connections can be found under Statistics  ››  Module Statistics : Local Traffic  ››  Virtual Servers : <<name of virtual server>>  , and look under the heading "Connections". 

If you are looking for more detailed information, that may be difficult as most of these VDI protocols are encrypted and won't allow the information to be visible, unless you are using APM. You may be able to do something with iRules if you can tell which protocol the VDI connections are using, but no guarantee. 

Hope this helps.
