Description

Currently, if a port is removed from a remote instance, those communicating with that port do not have any indicator of this until they manually choose to refresh the flow contents of the remote group. This needs to happen automatically and show that the port is not running or no longer exists on the client side.

Additionally, it takes quite a long time to refresh the contents of the remote group. After user clicks "Refresh" it takes up to 30 seconds for a request to be made. When a user is actively waiting for this to complete, 30 seconds seems like a really long time.
