TEST_ACTION
This action’s name is Test Exter nalSc ri p t . It has two attributes, Process Name , a string, and Status ,
an integer. It stores the retrieved process’ status in the
Status integer, and takes Process Name as a
required input. It refers to the
process_check.pl script as an external command in its Scripts tab.
Here is the syntax:
perl [installation root]\owareapps\performance\scripts\process_check.pl
<Process_Name>
In addition to referring to the script, this Adaptive CLI extracts the status from the script’s run.
Essentially it looks for 0 (down) or 1 (up) with the following regular expression in the
Value
Extractions
tab:
(\d)$
Note: [installation root] is an example only, not a legitimate part of the path.
PROCESS_UPTIME_MONITOR
This monitor’s name is ProcessUptimeMonitor. It refers to the TestExternalScript
(
TEST_ACTION ) Adaptive CLI. Notice that the Process Name attribute defaults to notepad.exe,
and the Monitor Attributes tab contains the
Status attribute.
Monitor Dashboard
To see the result of your monitoring, create a custom monitor dashboard with the
PROCESS_UPTIME_MONITOR as its target monitor, and the desired target device as its target
device.
You can then see the process’ activity over time when you launch the dashboard.
