Hi folks,

i'm trying the stunning new Powershell client from Zak, and i'm already loving it.

But I cannot figure out how to check if a service is running or not.
I'm using last version 2.19 with Xymon 4.3.28-1terabithia.

I've successfully set in analysis.cfg PORT and PROC checks, but what about "svcs"?

I've also been able to use the directive "servicecheck" in client-local.cfg to instruct the powershellclient to restart stopped services but... I'm still missing the most important (for me) part for windows systems.

Please help :)
Thanks in advance, Alessandro

Hi Alessandro

 
I had a quick look at our server config, and we use this in analysis.cfg:

 
HOST=hostname

        SVC MSSQLSERVER status=started

        SVC SQLSERVERAGENT status=started

 
See also https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/analysis.cfg.5.html.

 
Cheers

 
Zak

Thank you so much, it works.

I did read the "documentation" only in the header of analysis.cfg, which does not include the SVC definition.

Great work!
