Royal Apps

I had the idea that it could be really nice to implement a features that allows to visualize if the server is ready for connections on Port 3389.

Possibly with the RDP prot. It could be used to get a feedback from a server who was recently restarted.

It could maybe work like this:

Royal recognizes that a RDP Connection was shut down, now it will check every 10-20 sec. if the RDP protocol is up, if yes = Green indicator

If the server is just running it should be enough to check every 5 – 10Min or so.

Or

Beside of the Ping another function that has to be enabled manually like the Ping that will check availability of RDP for a few minutes before stopping automatically.

You could probably write a powershell script.  I would prefer this not be implemented as a default.  My security team would go bonkers if all our workstations started to scan RDP status.

I still think this idea is useful to implement. However, not on a constant scan but on a 'request basis'.

In our old tool (mRemoteNG) when we select a server (just clicking on it) it gets the status and sees if the port is up or down and adjusts it accordingly.

Would you be able to implement a feature like this?

 This is actully what i ment when i wrote the post. I didnt mean to scan all connections all the time, that would probably burn our enviorment.

My Idea was to scan the Tabs only, so all Servers i activly work on.

Would that be possible?

I think both could be done by RoyalApps. As long as they provide the config that we can use on these properties, every company/user could change what they like itself. 

When we just click once on an asset, it would be nice to see if it is up or down.

Hey Stefan

Thanks for your feedback.

Having an item on the dashboard is definitely a good way for the most convenient options (RDP, SSH, ...). When selecting the item also shows the dashboard, so you immediately can visualise it over there.

You also could make the icon a different color, e.g.: When connected to a server the icon of the host becomes green. What about if the server is down, you make it red? I never saw that red color on the icon in the past.

Also having an option to enable/disable it on host/folder level would be a definite win, certain hosts won't make sense in our setup to do that (but that is very much our 'weird' setup). Or enable it for all, also not a big issue.

To top it off: having an ability to select what kind of healthchecks have to be performed would be the best case: ping (ICMP), TCP check on destination port or a NMAP (alive) check.
