             Summary: Support health checks for connections
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-267
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-267
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: guacamole-auth-jdbc
            Reporter: Michael Jumper


Balancing groups currently choose an underlying connection based on the number of active users of that connection, assigning users based on which connection is expected to have the lowest load. They do not currently take into account remote desktop servers which are unreachable or down.

An unreachable server will, by definition, have zero active users, thus any such server will be chosen extremely often, rendering the balancing group useless. Some mechanism must be implemented which would allow for basic health check pings (or equivalent), such that unreachable/unresponsive servers will not be chosen.
