# Field Monitor ![Build Status](https://github.com/theCapypara/field-monitor/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)

Access virtual machines and other external screens

![](data/field-monitor.gif)

Field Monitor is a remote-desktop client designed for the GNOME platform.

It is focused on connecting to virtual machines, but can connect to any server

supporting the RDP, SPICE or VNC protocols.

It has support for directly connecting to VMs of the following hypervisors:

- Proxmox

- QEMU/KVM via libvirt

For supported VM hypervisors Field Monitor also offers options to manage the basic

power state of VMs, such as starting, stopping, rebooting, etc.

Additionally, Field Monitor supports opening RDP and Virt Viewer connection files

and quickly connecting to RDP, SPICE or VNC servers via URI.
