Collecting advanced information about RDP connectivity issues from Windows' Event Viewer.
This article deals with advanced logs pertaining to connectivity issues. In other words, sessions that fail to start Cameyo during the "Connecting" phase. This article does not deal with problems pertaining to the "Provisioning" phase or issues during an ongoing Cameyo session.

To see whether the connection has reached Cameyo's server-side guacamole module, search the Windows Logs\Application log for errors with source=guacd. Look at the Details | XML tab. In the below example, guacd is complaining about an error connecting to the RDP server on that same machine:
