Summary

To receive a detailed diagnostic report, create a support/log file bundle and then submit this bundle to the PCoIP health check  tool.  Once the files are submitted, it will take 5-10 minutes to produce a detailed report.  The report will be sent to your registered e-mail address.  

If you do not wish to submit your diagnostic data to Teradici for analysis, the remaining section of this article will provide examples on how to manually check your system log files for common host issues.

Terminating a PCoIP Session (Sequence Diagram)

The PCoIP session MAY be terminated/disconnected via the following methods:

  1. Directly through the PCoIP client.
  2. Directly through another PCoIP client session takeover.
  3. Indirectly through the operating system (OS).

The PCoIP Brokers typically provide a mechanism to terminate the remote/PCoIP session using Method #3.

  • For example, a button to disconnect or logoff the user. The broker typically terminates the PCoIP sessions via a Broker Agent that runs on the PCoIP agent machine. The Broker Agent MAY terminate the PCoIP session using the APIs provided by the operating system (for example Windows tsdiscon API).
