I'm looking for options to detect windows remote connection problem, basically to check if the Remote Desktop connection is working. I have monitors to check the windows remote desktop port (3389) and also for the certificate used by the remote desktop if it's still valid. This is working fine for case like port being blocked or not available for whatever reasons, also good to detect if the certificate is invalid (like expired or not able to validate to the PKI server). However this monitor will not able to detect for such case where both port and certificate are good, but connection is refused by whatever reason. For example if license server is not available. In this such case the monitor that I have will still shows as green because both port and certificate good. What I would need is some kind of remote desktop user experience, it doesn't need to be fancy like to get response time or anything but simply if the remote desktop is working and the server is accepting RDP connection.
I've been googling it out for a while but couldn't find a good solution for this. SolarWinds has a nice template for monitoring the Remote Desktop License server (https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/sam/content/sam-remote-desktop-services-licensing-sw5826.htm), however what I need is to monitor from the client/user side.
Anybody has any solutions or ideas for this?
Thank you
