+## HIP VM Monitoring
+
+The HIP VMs are kept in a dedicated file:
+
+```text
+src\HostAvailabilityMonitor\hip-vms.json
+```
+
+This keeps them independent from the `Targets` regenerated by the BizTalk generator. Changes to BizTalk send ports or receive locations do not overwrite the static VM list.
+
+Enable the feature in `appsettings.json`:
+
+```json
+"HipVirtualMachines": {
+  "Enabled": true,
+  "ConfigPath": "hip-vms.json",
+  "ApplicationName": "HIP Virtual Machines",
+  "TimeoutSeconds": 5,
+  "RdpPort": 3389,
+  "CheckNetwork": true,
+  "CheckRdp": true
+}
+```
+
+The `hip-vms.json` file contains group, name, address, description, and enabled state for each VM. At startup, the monitor turns every enabled VM into normal monitor targets:
+
+- `Network`: `icmp://<address>` for ping/network connectivity
+- `RDP`: `rdp://<address>:3389` for TCP connectivity to the RDP service
+
+These targets use the same state file as all other checks. Lost network or RDP reachability and later recoveries are therefore reported through the normal failure/recovery emails. File logs and Windows Event Log entries include source, group, machine, and check type.

+  "CheckNetwork": true,
+  "CheckRdp": true
+}

+
+Die Datei `hip-vms.json` enthält pro VM Gruppe, Namen, Adresse, Beschreibung und Aktivstatus. Beim Start erzeugt der Monitor daraus normale Targets:

+- `Network`: `icmp://<adresse>` für Ping/Netzwerk-Konnektivität
+- `RDP`: `rdp://<adresse>:3389` für TCP-Konnektivität zum RDP-Dienst
+
+Diese Targets nutzen dieselbe State-Datei wie alle anderen Checks. Dadurch werden verlorene Netzwerk- oder RDP-Erreichbarkeit und spätere Recoveries automatisch in den normalen Failure-/Recovery-Mails gemeldet.
