Monitor Windows Servers and Workstations using custom Remote Command batch jobs in ActiveXperts Network Monitor

ActiveXperts Network Monitor is a software solution you need to scan your network servers, workstations and devices for failures or irregularities. With ActiveXperts Network Monitor, you can identify issues and fix unexpected problems before your others even know they've happened.
ActiveXperts Network Monitor maximizes network availability by monitoring all aspects of your servers, workstations, switches, routers, printers and any other devices. It can also detect temperature, humidity and other environmental aspects in your server rooms.

ActiveXperts Network Monitor can check any Windows server by executing a command on a remote computer. The command file (executable, batch-job, etc.) must be located on the remote monitored computer.

ActiveXperts Network Monitor requires the Remote Command output (i.e. StdOut) to be formatted according to the following syntax: 

[ SUCCESS | ERROR | UNCERTAIN]: { <explanation> } { DATA:<value>}

The <explanation> will be shown in the 'Last Response' column in the Manager application. The <value> field will be shown in the 'Data' column in the Manager application. Samples: 

    
ERROR: Free Disk space is less than 40 GB DATA:34
SUCCESS: Free Disk space is more than 40 GB DATA:117

An ActiveXperts Network Monitor Remote Command check requires the following parameters:

  • Computer - The host name or the IP address of the computer you want to monitor;
  • Command - The command to execute on the remote computer. This command must reside on the remote computer;
  • If StdErr is not empty, the result will be - If there’s an error in the script, you can handle this error and specify what the result of the check should be: Uncertain, Error or Success;
  • Command Time-out - Specifies the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for completion of the remote command; if the remote command takes longer, it will be terminated. Default value: 30000 milliseconds;
