Remote control

The Remote Control tool lets you connect to your Linux terminal through a web-based ssh. Using the Remote Control feature you can remotely debug issues on your edge devices.

Opening remote control session

To begin a Remote control session, click on the Remote Control column at the Devices table. A window will popup with a random generated Secret Key. You will also notice a time counter, during the shown time, a few processes will run to open the session. When the time reaches zero, a link to the remote control session will be popup.

Click on the link, a new tab will open with a place to enter the Secret Key from the previous stage. Enter that key and fill the ssh details, like the username to connect. Clicking on Connect will open a live ssh session in the same browser tab.
