Screenshot 67 - Printer availability check parameters dialog
The Printer Availability rule requires the following parameter:
• Printer name – Specify the name of the network printer to be
monitored.
NOTE: Specify the same printer name used on the network (e.g.
HP4P_onJMPC).
Process Running
NOTE: This monitor function requires WMI to be installed on the
computer running GFI Network Server Monitor as well as on the
computer being monitored. The monitor function will create a VBscript
which uses WMI with the parameters you specify in the check
parameters dialog. WMI is only available on Windows 2000 and higher
computers, therefore this monitor function can only be used if both the
GFI Network Server Monitor computer and the computer to be
monitored are running Windows 2000 or higher.
GFI Network Server Monitor can check for processes running on local
and/or remote computers. If a process is active, then the target
computer is considered to be available.
