Text file parsing question

Hi, I'm using the Linux RMA on a SUSE 10 box with HostMonitor 7.10. I have one item to check /var/log/messages for the word "error" and another item to check it for the word "root". Unfortunately, I have a process that runs every few hours that does log in remotely as root, does ...

Ok, I'm finally getting a chance to try my DHCP monitoring. I am unable to connect to a desktop machine with the domain administrator credentials, even after port 135 and 445 are opened in Windows Firewall. The error is: RMA: 301 - Win32 Error. Code: 5. I am able to use the Event Viewer program on t...

Wow, that's great. I will try it in the coming week. Thanks. One additional question, I would not like an error returned if the XP machine cannot be contacted. This particular site has many laptops which are not always at their desk. I just want to see event logs when the machines are there..... Tha...

In the Select computer to monitor screen, I can't get it to connect to any computer at a remote site. It does not appear to be able to connect to the local machine either. I have the syntax of domain\administrator in the Connect as: username field and their domain password in the password field and ...

Hi, I did get it working. Must put tscheck.exe on the server that has the RMA loaded and run against local servers from there. Not quite ideal, but well enough for now. I do also have a 3389 tcp port check running over the internet which helps tell if RDP from the internet is operatoinal or not. Tha...

Ahh process counter doesn't work on RMA's though... That's where I need it.

Will look into the scripting a bit.

Thanks.

Monitor the event log on a bunch of XP systems on DHCP

Hi! Ok, wondering how this could be done. I have a number of offices with their Windows XP desktop machines running DHCP on a Windows Active Directory domain setup. I believe I can use the "Domain\Administrator" naming to authenticate to any system on the network from HostMonitor, which is...

CPU utilization for a specific service/process

Hi! Monitoring a Windows 2003 server and a couple of processes frequently hold the CPU at 100%. I have a CPU test on the server so I know when it is spiked. However, I would like it to also report what service or executable is causing the problem. The process test only tells you if the process is ru...

Ok, give me a hint here. I can test servers on my LAN successfully, but I cannot test any over the internet. I get "The RPC Server is unavailable".. I've tried by hostname and IP address, username with the domain and without. I've watched my firewall logs and nothing is shown as blocked du...

Hi,

I've tried against Windows 2000 SP4, Windows 2003 and Windows 2003 SP1 machines.

The testing machine is Windows 2000 SP4 and I am running it from a command prompt.

Microsoft Terminal Services. Some are Remote Administration mode and some are Application mode.

Thanks.

Ok, I had done that as well. Sorry for not including it before, but I thought there was some functionality even without a login specified. Here's the results. tscheck -host:192.168.1.98 -user:mattj -password:thepassword ScriptRes:Bad:A required privilege is not held by the client.; Access is denied....

Hi,

I'm trying to run tscheck from a Windows 2000 SP4 host and I am getting

ScriptRes:Bad:Access is denied.

My command line is: tscheck -host:192.168.1.98 (the ip of the terminal server)

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Just an update on my progress. It's been almost a week now and HostMonitor 6.72beta has not crashed at all. Windows 2000 SP4 in VMware Server 1.0.2 seems quite stable. I'm managing two RMA's at remote sites and a number of local tests.

Thanks again!
