Hello!

I am currently working on monitoring if service or process is hanged (started, status ok, but not woking etc). Is there any hint, besides cpu or memory load analisys? For example, we can add a feature to our app that sends "ok"-status every n minustes, but how'd I create custom sensor for such solution?

Will appreciate any hint or advice.

Currently i'm experimenting with http push sensor, strange, but it has no push speed settings, only #/s but no #/min or hour.

Hi Anton,

You can use the HTTP Push Data Advanced Sensor to receive data in XML or JSON. This will bypass the speed channel issue and will allow you to change the sensor status if no messages were received.

Best regards, Felix

So, decided to share my solution:

DIM oIE

Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
oIE.navigate "website"
oIE.Visible = false

Wscript.Sleep 3000 

'depends on how fast your website opens

Set UID = oIE.document.all.IDLOGINBOX
UID.value = "user"

Set PWD = oIE.document.all.IDLOGINBOX
PWD.value = "password"

oIE.document.all.CONFIRMBUTTON.click

Wscript.Sleep 2000

if inStr(oIE.Document.body.innertext, "SEARCHFORTEXTINBODY") then WScript.echo "up:ok" else WScript.echo "down:down" End If

change CAPSARGUMENTS for yours, save as VBS, add script as a sensor, have fun!
