A nice feature for us would be a warranty check. To follow up on our Warranty for our Hosts (ESX, SAN,...)

Input
1 - Alert Window (f.e.: 60 days)
2 - Warranty Expiry Date (dd/mm/yyyy)

Output
Number of Days warranty left (from today).

Turns bad when Output < Alert Window

Or is there another test that can be used for this?

Warranty? Do you mean check license expiration date?

Yes
HP Care Pack expiration date for server (f.e.)

or any other license that needs renewal (hard or software)

We cannot check "any other" licenses because there are 10,000+ vendors and we will spend many years trying to find information regarding each software, how it stores and manages licenses.

So you need to check the following licenses?
- VMWare ESX licenses
- VMWare vSAN
- HP Care Pack

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not really looking for a vendor specific solution. Like you said 10 000+ is way to many.

Just a test where it compares a (manual) given date with the current date (minus offset for purchase order)

That way it is usable for everything...

Sound like you need Organizer software, not monitoring software

If you need simple alarm clock within HostMonitor, I think you can use Shell Script test method and simple script that will check date and return Bad or Ok status with some comment for Reply field of the test (e.g. "vSphere license will expire in 20 days").

Regards
Alex

You may use the following VB script with Shell Script test method:

Code:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next

const statusUnknown     = "scriptRes:Unknown:"
const statusOk          = "scriptRes:Ok:"
const statusBad         = "scriptRes:Bad:"

Dim objArgs, textdate, dat, diff, baddiff
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments

If objArgs.Count <> 2 then
  WScript.StdOut.Write statusUnknown & "script requires 2 parameters <date> <N days to the end of the term>"
  WScript.Quit
end If

textdate = objArgs(0)
baddiff = int(objArgs(1))

dat = CDate(textdate)
diff = DateDiff("d",Now,dat)

If diff <= baddiff then
  WScript.StdOut.Write statusBad & diff & " (" & textdate & ")"
  else
  WScript.StdOut.Write statusOk & diff
  end If

start cmd: cmd /c cscript /B /E:VBScript %Script% %Params%

Script requires 2 parameters: <end date> and <Number of days for the alert>
