What specifically do you want monitored? There are lots of services provided by DC's with several services providing them.

This is probably late by the ODBC command line test tool for SQL Server is OSQL. It comes with SQL Server.

Not to mention easier to script addition of new tests and new nodes and wouldn't need custom routines for exporting/importing, etc.

I am for it if it doesn't pull the dev team off the product line for too long.

Occasionally most of the remote performance counters start returning as unknown after taking a long time to try and pull them (set to pull on a 120 second cycle) while trying to pull them through perfmon in the same logon session will pull them right away even if perfmon is set to update once per se...

Sure there is... You are connected as your user ID which has a security context.

What specifically do you mean?

I just took a look and my tests all get executed at 12 midnight as well. A lot of my tests have a 2.5 minute interval and I see a lot of Entries like 11/27/2002 12:00:04 AM Ok 2 % 11/27/2002 12:00:38 AM Ok 0 % 11/27/2002 12:03:10 AM Ok 2 % 11/27/2002 12:05:44 AM Ok 0 % 11/27/2002 12:08:18 AM Ok 1 % ...

Or if you have the resource kit, install RCMD. It is the same as PSEXEC only it doesn't install the service each time it is run, the service is always just sitting there.

Howdy

Is there a way to specify a time/date range or log file to generate a report from?

Hey how about when the graphing window is graphing percentage items it uses an automatic scale of 100% instead of scaling to the max value of the data set range. I understand you can't do that for other non-percentage values but it shouldn't be too bad/difficult to do it for percentage values. Also ...

Take a look at http://www.joeware.net, there are lots of tools there that you might be able to wrap in a script to get to what you want.

Set up a master test that is simply a script to look at a file or something else that you modify on your own in your own way. When that test goes negative the dependent test won't run.

At least that is how I would go after that.

Whoa that script option looks pretty cool...

thanks!

Just a suggestion but how about you load it on a local machine as a service and verify that you are getting the same results locally as you are on the remote server.

Define an external action and have it call the logevent resource kit tool and you can log your own events.

If you want to define a message source to use check out http://www.joeware.net free win32 tools and grab ELDLL which will define a message source and has some basic messages that can be used.
