Session Recording

Monitor Session Recording agents

All VDAs with Session Recording agents installed are monitored. You can run SsRecUtils.exe on the Session Recording server to:

  • Check the counts of VDAs with and without Session Recording agents installed.
  • View the connection status of all Session Recording agents.

To check the counts of VDAs with and without Session Recording agents installed

  1. Start a command prompt as an administrator and change the drive to the <\Session Recording server installation path>\Bin folder.

  2. Run a command similar to the following:

    SsRecUtils.exe /GroupVDAs -AdminAddress AWDDC1-1PQNR
    <!--NeedCopy-->
    

    The AdminAddress parameter specifies the FQDN of your Delivery Controller. It allows you to view the counts of VDAs in your site and the counts of VDAs installed with Session Recording agents. For an example output, see the following screen capture:

    Group VDAs

To View the connection status of all Session Recording agents

  1. Start a command prompt as an administrator and change the drive to the <\Session Recording server installation path>\Bin folder.

  2. Run a command similar to the following:

    SsRecUtils.exe  /ListVDAs -AdminAddress AWDDC1-1PQNR -DeliverGroup BVT_DG [-InstalledSRAgent True -MachineName  AWVDA-1PQNR   -MaxRecordCount 1000 -OffSet 0]
    <!--NeedCopy-->
    

This command displays a detailed list of VDAs, sorted in ascending order based on when their Session Recording agent was registered (oldest to newest).

Where,

  • AdminAddress (mandatory) specifies the FQDN of your Delivery Controller. It allows you to list VDAs in your site.

  • DeliverGroup (mandatory) specifies a delivery group.

  • InstalledSRAgent (optional, default: True) controls which VDAs to list. True: List only VDAs installed with the Session Recording agent. False: List only VDAs without the agent.

  • MachineName (optional) specifies the machine name of a target VDA.

  • MaxRecordCount (optional, default: 1000) limits the number of output records.

  • Offset (optional, default: 0) specifies the starting point for data retrieval, skipping the first Offset items.

For example command outputs, see the following screen captures:

  • Example output when InstalledSRAgent is set to True:
