The benefit of a Gateway-managed connection is that security and other configuration
options can be enforced by the Gateway on all Hosts in a particular Gateway group or on
all Gateway Hosts. These settings will override any individual settings at the Host level.
Record screen activity on a Gateway Host
From the Gateway Hosts tab of the Master console window, screen activity on any
managed Host can be recorded, even if there is not active remote control connection.
When the Master initiates a recording session, screen data from managed Host is
streamed to a file on the Gateway. The Gateway can support multiple recording sessions
at the same time. Consult the screen recording hardware requirements for scalability
information.
Host Recordings list
To set up the Gateway Hosts tab to display a list of recordings, click View > Host
Recordings. The Host Recordings portion of the tab lists the following information:
Display Name – Shows the name of the Host computer on which you recorded screen
activity, followed by the data and time that you began to record it.
Recorded at – Shows the date and time that you began to record.
Duration – Shows the duration of the recording in seconds
Begin recording
To record activity on a Host computer, you must be connected to the Gateway that
manages the Host, but you do not have to be connected to the Host computer itself. One
or more recording sessions can occur at the same time.
To record screen activity:
1 Connect to the Gateway that manages the Host computers on which you want to
record screen activity.
2 In the list of managed Hosts, select each Host on which you want to record activity.
3 Right-click and choose Record, or choose Connection > Record from the menu. The
Record Selected Host(s) window opens.
4 In the Record Selected Host(s) window, specify the Recording Span in minutes. The
default setting is 5.
5 Click OK to begin recording.
As soon as the recording begins, it is listed in Host Recordings. When a recording has
finished, it remains listed in Host Recordings but the icon changes.
