For many reasons beyond our control, it is possible for a session to be terminated without Remote Desktop Manager being aware that this has occurred. This can happen, for example, if Remote Desktop Manager is not running when another application ends. Therefore, any terminated session will remain listed in the log. You may manually mark it as closed via the contextual menu by selecting Flag as closed.

To review a detailed log, double click on a session entry.

Hidden session tab

Some sessions, like SSH port forward, can be hidden from the dashboard when the connection is established. When these sessions are hidden, they are not displayed in the Local sessions. Select Hidden sessions from the combo box above the entry list to display hidden sessions only.

VPN groups (opened)

Sessions can be configured to use a VPN Group. When multiple sessions are using the same VPN group, it will appear in this section with the number of opened connections using that same group.

Notes

  • Remote Desktop Manager tries to detect opened sessions even if they were not launched from the application. It uses the name of the process to accomplish this task.
  • VPN sessions do not appear in the list.
