How to monitor ECS ?

[Steve92]

Hello,

What command (s) can we use in a supervisor to check if ECS is operational ?

It would be a kind of applicative “ping”.

Thanks,

Regards,

Steve.

Hello Steve,

If you need a command to know how to check if nxserver is operative, it is nxserver --status.

If this is not what you need, can you please give us more details on what you need to do and on which platform ?

Hello,

The idea would be to simulate a real user and from end to end and detect interruption of service before users scream 😉

Simulate for V8.16 :

!M Client (Win11) ==> ECS (RHEL) ==> ED (Win) or SBTS (RHEL /Debian)

Is it possible ? How ?

Thanks,

Steve.

Any idea ?

With V8 ? V9 ?

We don’t offer a service monitoring because there is specialized software to do that. We could possibly evaluate doing something in future, but we don’t have any short term plan. Something that is not strictly related with what you asked for, but that can still be useful, is a new “Machine info” context menu entry in the machines roster that connects to the server and gets the statistics. This will be available in one of the 9.x maintenances.

Hi!

Any suggestion for a specialized software to do that with V8 ?

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

I’m not entirely sure I fully understood your request, but it sounds like you’re trying to set up a flow that will either automatically create or reconnect to a session in order to verify whether the server is functioning correctly.

If that’s the case, you could try the following on ECS:
– Run /etc/NX/nxserver --nodelist to check that all nodes are listed and running.
– Or, run /etc/NX/nxserver --status directly on the node to verify that all NoMachine services are operational.

Additionally, you might consider using a preconfigured .nxs file with NoMachine Player to connect and check the session status automatically. There’s some useful guidance on this approach available here:

Let me know if this helps or if I misunderstood the intent behind your request.
