Sender event logging on Windows 156
9 Sender event logging on Windows
The RGS Sender on Windows supports event logging. Event logging provides information useful for
troubleshooting connection problems, and can also be used to automatically terminate applications on the Sender
in case the connection is lost between the Sender and the Receiver. This chapter describes the Sender event
logging capabilities while the next chapter describes how to use event logging to terminate applications on the
Sender.
9-1 The HPRemote log
The Sender event log is called the HPRemote log, and can be viewed using the Windows Event Viewer shown in
Figure 9-1.
Figure 9-1 The HPRemote log
To view the HPRemote log, select:
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > System Tools > Event Viewer > HPRemote
The HPRemote log reflects recent RGS connection activity. The log entries are in "Last In, First Out" (LIFO) order.
By default, the most recent events are listed first.
NOTE: RGS event logging is supported only on the RGS Sender on Windows. It is not supported on the RGS
Receiver.
IMPORTANT: The HPRemote log allows you to implement a capability called Remote Application Termination.
Remote Application Termination enables applications on the Sender (Remote) Computer to be automatically
terminated if the RGS connection to the Receiver is lost. See Chapter 10 for details.
