[Xymon] [External] PS client enhancement of ServiceCheck

Hi Tim

I’m happy to accept this, I need to do a release soon anyway…

One thing I’d really like to change, sorry it’s pernickety, is

if($MaintDay -eq 0){$MaintWeekDay = "Sunday"}
if($MaintDay -eq 1){$MaintWeekDay = "Monday"}
…

I’d like to replace it with:
$days = ('Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday')
$MaintWeekDay = $days[$MaintDay]

And move the validation before the above.

Thanks

Zak

Subject: [External] [Xymon] PS client enhancement of ServiceCheck

All, I've started using the servicecheck function to restart services more extensively lately. However, I encountered a department which needs to shut down a monitored service during a maintenance window, and the servicecheck would restart it. Thus, I created a 'noservicecheck' item in the client-local.cfg process. Hope you find it useful enough to add to next PS version.

Here is a section to add to the XymonPSClient.doc help file:
noservicecheck
noservicecheck:SERVICENAME:DAYOFWEEK:STARTHOUR:DURATION
Checks if a specified Windows Service servicecheck exists and suppresses it during the specified Maintenance Window. Window can span multiple days, as specified by Duration, but would terminate if script is restarted after initiation day/hour.
SERVICENAME – name of the service to check for a ‘servicecheck’ statement.
DAYOFWEEK – numeric day of the week, where Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, etc.
STARTHOUR – military hour to start the Maintenance Window, 0 for midnight up to 23
DURATION – how long in hours a servicecheck should not institute a restart
Examples:
servicecheck:Sophos Message Router:10
noservicecheck:Sophos Message Router:0:5:1
(no restart starting first scan after Sunday 5AM to first scan after 6AM)
Here are the revisions in XymonClient.PS1:

Add following to declared variables about line 48:
     $MaintChecks = @{}

Add line to function XymonClientConfig($cfglines) for new item to be recognized:
    -or $l -match '^noservicecheck:' `

Replace 'servicecheck' function:

function XymonServiceCheck
{
    WriteLog "Executing XymonServiceCheck"
    if ($script:clientlocalcfg_entries -ne $null)
    {
       $servicecfgs = @($script:clientlocalcfg_entries.keys | where { $_ -match '^servicecheck' })
            foreach ($service in $servicecfgs)
            {
                # parameter should be 'servicecheck:<servicename>:<duration>'
                $checkparams = $service -split ':'
                # validation
                if ($checkparams.length -ne 3)
                {
                    WriteLog "ERROR: not enough parameters (should be servicecheck:<servicename>:<duration>) - $checkparams[1]"
                    continue
                }
