- Alarm when the errorlevel returned by = powershell -NoProfile 
-ExecutionPolicy bypass -File 
"C:\ServersAlive\ExternalChecks\000_DPM-RegKey_ForceFixup.ps1"  %h

We usually use something along this line to execute the powershell script 
command inside a ServersAlive check: 

 

powershell -WindowStyle Hidden &'D:\Program Files (x86)\Woodstone\Servers 
Alive\external\serversalive_psscript.ps1'

Thats great, just the sort of stuff I was after a taking a look at. 

 

What is the batch script like that you call this from, or can you now call  
Powershell scripts directly from within Servers Alive?

Servers Alive Check type : external (errorlevel); alarm when errorlevel <> 0. 

 

An example of a PS-script I use : 

$RemoteServer=$args[0] 

$RefValue=1 

  

$Value=Invoke-Command -computername $RemoteServer -ScriptBlock 
{(get-itemproperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection 
Manager\Agent\2.0").Forcefixup} 

 

if ($Waarde -eq $RefValue) 

{ 

 write-host "OK. Value ForceFixup is $Value. " 

 exit 0 

  } 

else 

{ 

 write-host "Error. Value ForceFixup is $Value, must be $RefValue." 

 exit 1 

} 

 

The script checks if a registry-key still has value 1. If not it ends with an 
errorlevel 1 and Servers Alive then generates an error.

Mailing List Users, 

 

I have been away from Servers Alive external check development for some time 
and the version of Servers Alive has moved on a fair bit since I was last doing 
this sort of work. 

 

I have had a quick look on the Servers Alive website for information regarding 
using Powershell for external checks, as this is now my preferred scripting 
language, but Im not seeing much on the web site or the email list 
archives. 

 

Is anyone making much use of Powershell for their external checking processes, 
would anyone be will to give me some ideas of the sort of stuff they are doing 
and how you are wrapping Powershell scripts up so that they can be called from 
within Servers Alive for performing external checks.

Guy#8217;s, 

 

I am being asked if it would be possible to Virtualise our Servers Alive 
installation for an on-going system wide upgrade project. The other monitoring 
we have on the same server is Insight Manager for hardware monitoring. We are 
currently running this on a Windows 2003 Server. We monitor a number of servers 
/ services etc. over a number of sites. 

 

Does anyone already have Servers Alive running on a Virtual Server (and Insight 
Manager preferably)? 

 

If you do are there any issues I should consider in migrating to a Virtual 
environment? Are there any issue in running in this way? 

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

[SA-list] FileProperties Configuration problem

[Carroll, Andrew]

Servers Alive Discussion List,

I have had to move my Servers Alive implementation from a Windows XP Pro SP3 
workstation to a Windows 2008 Server SP1 (32 bit) platform due to the failure 
of the hardware on the workstation.

I was able to recover my hostfile and the registry and group settings from the 
old system and implement these on the new system after a standard install, and 
all appears to working OK.

I have however spotted an issue with an External COM check, where I am not able 
to Configure the external check parameters.

A number of my checks use the External COM check FileProperties Check and it 
seems that I am unable to use the Configure option at the moment.

Does anyone have any clues why this is not working under Windows 2008 Server 
SP1 when it worked fine under Windows XP Pro SP3.

Servers Alive Enterprise Version 6.1.2004

Windows 2008 Server SP1 (32 bit)

Regards,

Andy

RE: [SA-list] FileProperties Configuration problem

[Carroll, Andrew]

Dirk,

The comfileproperties.dll reports a version of 2.0.0.49, this is the same 
version that was working on the older installation, as I have all these 
installation version from when the old system was implemented.

I have not previously updated the version of Servers Alive as on the old (dead) 
Windows XP Pro SP3 installation was working fine.

Should I really be upgrading to the latest version of Servers Alive now that I 
have had to move onto the Windows 2008 Server platform?

Regards,

Andy

Servers Alive Discussion List,

I have had to move my Servers Alive implementation from a Windows XP Pro SP3
workstation to a Windows 2008 Server SP1 (32 bit) platform due to the failure of
the hardware on the workstation.

I was able to recover my hostfile and the registry and group settings from the
old system and implement these on the new system after a standard install, and
all appears to working OK.

I have however spotted an issue with an External COM check, where I am not able
to Configure the external check parameters.

A number of my checks use the External COM check FileProperties Check and it
seems that I am unable to use the Configure option at the moment.

Does anyone have any clues why this is not working under Windows 2008 Server SP1
when it worked fine under Windows XP Pro SP3.

Servers Alive Enterprise Version 6.1.2004

Windows 2008 Server SP1 (32 bit)

Regards,

Andy

RE: [SA-list] FileProperties Configuration problem

[Carroll, Andrew]

Dirk,

I didn't have a choice of what OS I wanted to use for this latest Servers Alive 
installation as this is controlled by company policy and Windows 2008 Server is 
now the preferred Server OS.

I have found the dialogue after you have pointed out that it pops up behind 
other dialogues, and have been able to change the required configurations, I 
can live with this as long as it works.

Is there a list of known issues with Windows 2008 Server that I can take a look 
at to see if any of these are likely to cause me any issues? I have checked 
your website but can't see anything obvious. Has there been a discussion thread 
that I have missed? Will Windows 2008 Server be supported in future?

Regards,

Andy

We don't support v6.1/v6.2 on Win2008 if that's fine for you then you can stay
on that version.
About the fileproperties issue, that's a known thing caused by the OS too.  For
some reason the GUI is in fact visible but hidden behind the Servers Alive
screen.  With the latest add-on version we force it to be infront of SA :-)

Dirk,

The comfileproperties.dll reports a version of 2.0.0.49, this is the same
version that was working on the older installation, as I have all these
installation version from when the old system was implemented.

I have not previously updated the version of Servers Alive as on the old (dead)
Windows XP Pro SP3 installation was working fine.

Should I really be upgrading to the latest version of Servers Alive now that I
have had to move onto the Windows 2008 Server platform?

RE: [SA-list] OT - System / Network Monitoring

[Carroll, Andrew]

Kevin,

I know SA can do SNMP monitoring, although I haven't yet considered
implementing any. Any examples would be useful.

I am looking to provide simple real-time view of the current network
status, generate a history of status changes, log and display a variety
of system performance data, that sort of functionality.

I thought this would be something I might find information on Michael
Shook's user group forum: http://saug.snarkybox.com/ but this seems to
be an under used facility, which is a shame as it would be the ideal
place to discuss this sort of thing.

Just fishing for ideas and interested to see if any forum members are
using anything that I might find useful.

Regards,

Andy

[SA-list] Remote Telnet command crashes Servers Alive V5.1.1964

[Carroll, Andrew]

Title: Remote Telnet command crashes Servers Alive V5.1.1964






Dirk,


I have successfully implemented remote telnet commands that can be run from a remote web frontend, this gives me the ability to put a check into MAINTENANCE, ACTIVE or perform a CHECK NOW. This has been implemented using a mixture of HTML, ASP and PERL.

However, although these commands work fine, if there are a number of these commands being performed at the same or in quick succession, it can cause the Servers Alive application to crash.

From my investigations I believe this to be due to the fact that the telnet session is either being terminated before the process has successfully completed, or the next telnet session is killing the current telnet session.

There are no useful entries being logged to the log file.


Can you see anyway around this problem, has anybody else reported a similar problem?


Regards,


Andy

  well, i'd like to kick off with the convuluted process we 
  use with Servers Aliveto check our Groupwise 
Servers.
  
  How would you like this organized?
  
  It would make sense if it was by product, then by 
  software package...

Since Dirk is okay with the concept, I'll post my link 
below. This may need to move to another server depending on the 
popularity but we'll see how it goes.

I love the international flavor of this 
listserv.

  Pukka adj. (also pukkah, pucka) Anglo-Ind. 1. 
  Genuine 2. Of good quality, reliable 3. Of full weight.Source Language 
  Term: pucka Suggested Translation:toll, 
brilliant
I think it is a 
great idea also, if Woodstone is agreeable. I could see how they might 
have reservations about control of the 
content.

  I've thought a more generic how-to forum for 
  monitoring tools(mostly intergrating themwith SA)and have it 
  set up but never announced. I'm sure there's 
  interest...

  I have a dream
  
  A dream of a place where people can go to see in long form how to 
  monitor different kinds of servers, services and 
  processes.
  
  A quiet place with information, helpful tips, kind suggestions and 
  the occasional flower.
  
  I also have a webserver with nothing to do, and I haven't pissed 
  off my wife with late nights in front of the PC 
lately.
  
  Any interest in ServersAlive.snarkybox.com as a user 
  BBS?
