I need to get all list of management servers and its status in federated and non federated systems.

Can i get it using MIPSDK ?

if yes then can you give sample code for it ?

The Multi-site Viewer sample shows how to handle MFA, and as a bonus you can see different strategies on logging in to the sites.

If you don’t use Milestone Federated Architecture you only have on Management Server, in Milestone terms we call one Management Server and the Recording Servers under it for a site.

The sample above does not give you status. For the Management Server service you can use VideoOS.Platform.SDK.Util.ServerMonitor Class for get a status, there is only two possible statuses; alive or dead..

I have an old and small sample that is not part of the official samples but using ServerMonitor.. https://download.milestonesys.com/MIPSDK/Samples/MSAlive.zip

Is there a way to monitor the management server in a plugin not standalone app?

If using the VideoOS.Platform.SDK.Util.ServerMonitor Class this is only implemented in the standalone MIP SDK and cannot be utilized in a Management Client plugin or a Smart Client plugin.

Note that if the user expand the Cameras section in the left hand side panel the user will see the sites on which there are cameras that he can gain access to.
