Remote Terminal option not available on hosted.mender.io

Board Integrations Buildroot
1

We have integrated mender-client (v 2.6) into our buildroot image and are using hosted mender.

I now wanted to test the remote terminal add-on.

To do so I launch mender-connect (1.2) alongside mender-client (2.6).
But unfortunately I cannot see the option on the mender server UI to launch a terminal session.

mender-connect.conf:

{
  "ServerURL": "https://hosted.mender.io",
  "User": "root"
}

mender-connect log:

Hey @raphaelzaugg,

I just checked that you did not have the troubleshoot add-on enabled, but now it is enabled. So just following up to see if everything works as expected now.

Have a great day!

Hey @lramirez,

Indeed this was the issue.
Now with the add-on enabled on the server the remote terminal works as expected.

Thanks!
