termusers.pl is an external script that is run by the Big Brother client on a Windows Terminal Servers. It counts the number of users and determines how many are active or disconnected users. It can be used to track multiple customers on a shared terminal server with minor modification.

Client side

  1. Add to BBWin.cfg in externals
       <load value="C:\perl\bin\perl 'C:\Program Files\BBWin\ext\termusers.pl'" />

    This may work as well

       <load value="C:\perl\bin\perl ..\ext\termusers.pl" />

Server side

  1. Add 'termusers=ncv' to TEST2RRD in hobbitserver.cfg
  2. Add
    NCV_termusers="ActiveSessions:GAUGE,DisconnectedSessions:GAUGE,*:NONE"

    to hobbitserver.cfg.

  3. Add 'termusers' to the GRAPHS definitions in hobbitserver.cfg.
  4. Update hobbitgraph.cfg with:
    [termusers]
