check_x224check_x224
Checks that the most basic parts of a Remote Desktop connection succeeds.
The Remote Desktop protocol builds on a protocol called x224. This plugin checks that the initial and most basic parts of a Remote Desktop connection - the part which is specified by x224 - succeeds. I.e., it does a bit more than a TCP connection test at port 3389.

There is a python3 verson available at http://troels.arvin.dk/code/nagios/check_x224.python3

Requires Python2. If you have Python3 and Python2 installed, open the file, and make sure the first line lists Python2 as the env

Hello,

I'm having some trouble installing this check.
How do I install the check_x224 plugin?

I've added a few lines to my commands.cfg, and added the check to a host, but I guess that the check_x224 needs to be installed on the server?
This plugin is working great, and has been for some time to ensure I can always get access to my servers. Nothing worse than finding out something failed and /then/ finding out you can't remote into the thing!

Unfortunately I started adding 2012 servers and immediately get connection refusal errors. 0 for 3 on the 2012 ones, and working just fine on all the others, and I can RDP into the servers. Guessing MS changed something. Attempting to look over the packet structure and find the issue...
Thanks, this is the first usable RDP check script I've found which does some actual protocol checking :-)

python script works perfect - much better solution than simple tcp check...
