RDGW Terminal Service Gateway Test

An RD (Remote Desktop) Terminal Service Gateway is a component of Microsoft's Remote Desktop Services (RDS) that enables secure, encrypted access to remote desktops and applications over the internet. The Remote Desktop Gateway (RD Gateway) acts as a secure intermediary between external clients (such as laptops or mobile devices) and internal servers that provide Remote Desktop services, typically using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

This test monitors the RD terminal service gateways and reports the time taken to authorize a connection request . In addition, this test helps the administrators to understand the number of connections that were active/failed.

Target of the test : Microsoft RD Gateway

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for Microsoft RD Gateway that is currently launched.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Connection request authorization rate	Indicates the time taken to authorize a connection request.	Seconds
Current connections	Indicates the total number of connections in the gateway.	Number
Recent successful connections	Indicates the number of connections that were successful during the last measurement period.	Number
Recent failed connections	Indicates the number of connections that failed during the last measurement period.	Number
Insufficient connection authorization failures	Indicates the number of resources that failed due to insufficient connection authorization privilege during the last measurement period.	Number
Insufficient resource authorization failures	Indicates the number of resources that failed due to insufficient resource authorization privilege during the last measurement period.	Number
Recent connection failures	Indicates the percentage of connections that failed during the last measurement period.	Percent	Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0.
