[IGN-2827]Can You Terminate A Perspective Session from The Gateway?

Is it possible to stop a perspective session from the Ignition gateway. Because the Edge perspective module only allows one extra remote session, the customer is concerned someone will accidentally leave the application running and lock out other remote viewing. Any gateway functionality to solve this?

There is no avenue for terminating a Perspective Session from the Gateway at this time, although we do have an open feature request to provide that option.

HI @cmallonee,

Is there any update about that?

Thanks

No update. The internal ticket is still waiting to be worked on.

One way is restarting module.

Maybe you could set a session expiration based on an inactivity timer ?

This feature would be very usefull when trying t understand which Perspective session is using too much CPU…
We need this flexibility.

We’re running a project with limited perspective session licenses. It would be beneficial to have a method of disconnecting unused sessions on remote computers as an administrator so that we can free up licenses for use by others. Either a “disconnect session” or a session timeout parameter on projects would be pretty useful.

Well…

Aha, thanks!

We have a multiproject gateway and we have the same problem when retargeting between projects, using a script on a nav buttom from a Perspective client. Is there any news about the issue?

As of 8.1.23 you can remotely terminate Perspective sessions from the status section of the gateway web interface.

Thanks for the update. Is possible terminate the sessions with a script?

Yes, it's found here in the docs.

Does system.perspective.closeSession
works fully only from the version 8.1.23 onwards?
I am using 8.1.21 and it does only work for the current session but when i specify session id of chrome browser session it does not work :frowning:

Any advice on that please?

Could you provide your code?
