Usages Of The Hpremote Log; Figure 9-3 Reporting Of The Local Computer Ip Address, Port Number And Hostname When A Connection Is Made To The - HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation User Manual

Whenever the Local Computer (Receiver) either establishes a connection to the Sender or disconnects from the
Sender, the IP address and port number of the Local Computer are logged in the HPRemote log. At RGS 5.2.5,
logging of the hostname was added to the HPRemote log. In Figure 9-3, a connection has been established to the
Sender from a Local Computer with IP address 16.125.19.100, port number 1069, and hostname
HP18009285527.

9-2 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,
Microsoft 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.

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. Chapter 10 lists the events logged by the RGS Sender, and describes
their format. Using the sample code provided, you can create an agent to automatically monitor and process
any Sender events.
