RD Connection Broker Connections Test

RD (Remote Desktop) Connection Broker handles session redirection, load balancing, reconnections, and session persistence, ensuring a seamless user experience. By managing these connections effectively, the RD Connection Broker optimizes resource utilization, improves user satisfaction, and enhances the overall scalability and reliability of RDS environments. The RD Connection Broker Connections Test monitors the connections established/handled by the RD connection broker and reports the number of successful/failed connections. This helps the administrator to understand how many connections have failed and may drill-down to find out the root cause.
