A computer system to track and enhance performance of a virtual workspace system is provided. The computer system receives requests to profile phases of a distributed process executed by hosts coupled to one another via a network. Each of phase includes operations executed by processes hosted by the hosts. Each of phase either starts with receipt of a request via a user interface of a virtualization client or ends with provision of a response to the request via the user interface. The computer system identifies event log entries that each include an identifier of an event marking a start or an end of one of the operations, constructs a performance profile based on the event log entries, and transmits the performance profile to the user interface.
