Hi all.
I have a windows service "MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID" that is being reported by
the XymonPSClient.
To monitor this service I need to add the following line in my
analysis.cfg file:
SVC MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID status=started
But, the # characters are seen as the start of a comment, so the result is
this:
MSSQL$MICROSOFT: No matching service - want started/Any
I tried escaping the # characters with \ but that just resulted in:
MSSQL$MICROSOFT\: No matching service - want started/Any
Any ideas?
Can you use a regex?
%^MSSQL.MICROSOFT..WID$
You might be able to insert the actual needed chars with the escape \
but I expect the above should work also...
Regards,
Adam
