Monitoring Windows 2k8+ scheduled tasks => Updated!

Post by WillemDH »

Hello,

For anyone who monitors scheduled tasks on Windows 2008 or higher, I've written a new plugin that is more advanced than my old plugin:

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ks/details

The old plugin is still available (litle faster), but the new one has exclusion parameters, which makes it possible to eclude task folders and task names based on patterns. The new plugin will output by default more information, such as task owner, total tasks monitored and total tasks failed.
Very useful to monitor a server with lots of scheduled tasks..

It's very easily adapted, if you want to change the output or more.

Mind if I move this to the General forum so it can get more visibility?

Sure. I updated my old version plugin and apparently an update doesn't put it on the "Newest Nagios Projects" list, on http://exchange.nagios.org/. Maybe I better created a new project, but I wanted to keep them together.

Alright, will do. And I think you're correct about the New Projects page.
