Automated check that my GropuShare servers are accessible from Internet

Hello 

We configured  our GS (TM, MultiTerm) servers to use use "non-standard" ports. 

This is causing connection issues to some of our translators as they don't set the ports as instructed (in written  instructions) and consequently cannot establish the connection to the GroupShare server. 

 

So the idea is that we would need a script that  could be run from a website in the Internet that would simply do the Check Server Availability test with predefined server link and appropriate username and password.

 

I'm not a developer myself but I think this would be a nice feature / service.  It could be used also for simple SLA up time compliance testing.

I'm sure this can be developed it's just I wanted to check if anybody in the community has been having same kind of issues or thoughts.

I'd appreciate also the hints in about what technology to use to make it simple and reliable.

 

If this is more for the developers, I don't mind the question is moved to Developers forum.

 

Thank you 

Simon

  • Hi Simon,
    what exactly do you wanna test with script.
    Do you wish to start studio and open connection manager?
    If you just wanna try to connect to server you can connect to GS dashboard in
    your case https server address there user can sign in with his username and password.

    you can contact me form more info.

  • Hi Mitja,

    I know that we can verify the connection to the GS server by trying a https connection to the GS dashboard and entering a username with password.

    But unfortunately some of our users (or our clients users) didn't make it to enter the password or username or port correctly and continue to claim that our server is not available.

    So I was thinking about sometime simple like "tragic light" sign check that can be executed with one click of the button.
