A few reasons: 1) The problem with add-on checks is that they typically require quotes around a parameter or two when path names have spaces. These quotes screw-up all sorts of logging and web-output that we are trying to use.
If these checks were done natively to SA, the log and web output could be much cleaner. 2) Occasionally the external checks we are do fail and the utilities used don't handle the problem well (dialog boxes stack up on the screen, etc). Build in, SA would handle errors more cleanly. 3) Isn't this something that is so commonly requested (and not very complicated) that it only adds value to SA? (Stretching I know - but trying. Would really love to see this built in). =tv= -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 11:14 AM To: salive@woodstone.nu Subject: RE: [SA-list] Major product checks missing?

In SA (and add-ons) there are already a lot of checks for most major "products". Things like perfmon/process/service/wins (addon) are typicaly for NT/Win2K/Win2K3 SQL server Oracle mail (mailflow addon) URL (IIS/Apache/...) *nix (diskspace/process both as addon) ... Anything "major" that is missing? First thing that jumps to my "mind" is mySQL ... But that's something we're already working on :-) so you don't have to mention that one. Other ideas are welcome...
