Screenshot 77 – Terminal Services: Physical Logon check parameters dialog
The parameters required by this function are:
» RDP File – Specify path were the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) file is located (e.g.
C:\Documents and Settings\<relative user folder>\Recent\default.rdp).
» Timeout – Specify the number of milliseconds before the function times out. Usually, a
connection to the server is established within 1 second. However, some slow/busy servers
need more time. Recommended value is 7000 milliseconds.
The RDP file is generated by the Remote Desktop connection client whenever a remote
session is established (e.g., Default.rdp). This file contains properties and parameters
relative to the remote connection session made, including authentication details and
display settings which are used during each remote session.
Terminal Services checks must run under a Local or Domain Administrative account.
Otherwise, these checks will fail with error: "Failed to establish a terminal server
connection".

4.9.1 Generic Secure Shell (SSH) Check
The SSH Check function allows you to create custom monitor functions which can be remotely
executed on Unix/Linux based computers through the Secure Shell (SSH) service running on that
computer. Secure Shell, sometimes known as Secure Socket Shell, is a Unix-based command
interface and protocol for securely getting access to a remote computer.
