[Xymon] R: Windows Services Check with Powershell Client

[Alessandro Tinivelli]

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!

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

Subject: [Xymon] Windows Services Check with Powershell Client

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
