About Field Monitor
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:

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.
