Does LTM any advanced health monitor for RDP service?

you could use the wmi monitor, but I think that requires IIS to be running on each of your terminal server instances, which isn't a very efficient use of resources. I've yet to find a *nix script to validate the service availability. If you find one, please post back, you aren't alone in this issue.

Does any one resole this problem?

We experienced the same thing today...has anyone come to a resolution on it? I am researching ways to do this, but please post back if you have the answers.

 

 

Thanks!

Byang and ScottB,

 

 

What kinds of send and receive strings have you tried thusfar? And just to be clear, what versions are you both using?

I dont have any send or receive strings configured - just TCP:3389

 

 

running v9.4.7 HF2

 

 

Thank you for the quick reply, this is under the microscope of my management and would like to make them feel all wrm and fuzzy ;-)

Old post I know but just thought I'd check if anyone did get a resolution to this - would be useful at my workplace.

 

 

Thanks

You could work from the logic in this nagios check, which uses python to validate the x224 protocol. Still not a sure thing RDP is truly available, but closer than a tcp response, which especially wih RDP, is very misleading.

It would be great if F5 implemented a proper monitor for RDP! (hint hint)

Hello,

 

 

did anyone found a solution ?

 

 

Thanks

Try this alternative:

 

 

Download and build Zenoss' wmic on a CentOS system:

 

 

[root@CentOS ~] wget http://dev.zenoss.org/svn/trunk/inst/externallibs/wmi-1.3.14.tar.bz2

 

[root@CentOS ~] tar xfj wmi-1.3.14.tar.bz2

 

[root@CentOS ~] cd wmi-1.3.14

 

[root@CentOS wmi-1.3.14] make

 

 

Transfer wmic binary to your LTM:

 

 

[root@CentOS wmi-1.3.14] scp Samba/source/bin/wmic root@YourLTM:/usr/local/bin

 

 

Test wmic from your LTM:

 

 

[root@YourLTM] ~ wmic -U [domain/]adminuser%password //host "select State from Win32_Service where Name='TermService'"

 

CLASS: Win32_Service

 

Name|State

 

TermService|Running

 

 

Sample code on how to check whether or not RDP service is running:

 

 

wmic -U [domain/]adminuser%password //host \

 

"select State from Win32_Service where Name='TermService'" \

 

| egrep "^TermService\|Running$" >/dev/null 2>&1

 

 

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then

 

echo "UP"

 

fi

 

 

Good luck ...
