Usages of the HPRemote log
The HPRemote log has several important usages:
●
Troubleshooting—The HPRemote log can be used to aid troubleshooting of connection issues
between the RGS Sender and Receiver. If you’re unable to view the HPRemote log because of
RGS connection difficulties, Remote Desktop can be used to connect to the remote computer to
view the HPRemote log.
●
Automatic Remote Application Termination—Network outages or loss of connectivity between a
Remote and local computer can leave a remote desktop session running without supervision. To
prevent applications from running unattended, a customer-designed agent can use the
HPRemote log to monitor the status of connections to determine if application termination is
required. If so, the agent would be designed to take the appropriate action to terminate the
application.
The Chapter
Remote Application Termination on page 91 , describes how to create an agent
that uses the HPRemote log to automatically monitor the connection between the Remote and
local computers—and then take whatever action you require. Sample code is provided to
facilitate creation of the agent.
●
Other automated actions—The basic principle behind using the HPRemote log to perform
automatic Remote Application Termination can be used to create an agent to automatically
monitor and process any of the events logged by the RGS Sender. The Section,
HPRemote log
format on page 91 , lists the events logged by the RGS Sender, and describes their format.
