Monitoring Status of Many Services

[jromariz]

Hi,

Would like your help in an issue: today I have to monitor 18 different services on 10 different servers, that makes 180 different tests! Would it be possible to create only one test per server that would monitor all 18 services? I was trying to use "NT Event Log" test but I´m facing a problem: if, for example, 5 services stop at the same time, how would the operator identify wich services are having problem if only one test is performing?

Any ideas?

Thanks for helping.

Regards,

Jromariz.

If you just want to check that service was not stopped, you may use "Report about all events" option for NT Event Log test.
If you want to check that service really works and responds to commands, you should use Service test method (one test per service).

I am using the Microsoft's SC.EXE command line utility in this generic script

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
SET not_running=
SET skip=
SET count=
FOR /F "tokens=2" %%a IN ('SC \\%1 QUERY ^| FIND /I "SERVICE_NAME: "') DO SET "var=!var! %%a"
FOR %%a IN (%*) DO CALL :next %%a %var%
IF NOT "%not_running%"=="" (
   ECHO ScriptRes:Bad:Missing: %not_running%
) ELSE (
   ECHO ScriptRes:Ok:%count% of %count% OK
)
GOTO :EOF
:next
IF NOT DEFINED skip SET skip=1 & GOTO :EOF
SET match=
SET serviceut=%1
:loop
IF /I %serviceut%==%2 SET match=1 & SET /A count=count+1
SHIFT
IF NOT %2.==. GOTO :loop
IF NOT DEFINED match SET not_running=%not_running% %serviceut%

with these Params:

<SERVER> <service> <service> ....

where <service> is the "service name" (one word, w/o blanks), not the "display name". On Bad status, the Reply lists the services which do not run.
