What is the easiest way to monitor a windows server uptime. I would just like to alert if the server has been up for more than 7 days. It seems like this should be a very simple thing to do.
Have you tried using an SNMP monitor? If SNMP is enabled on your Windows Server, the lightweight SNMP Monitor tests an SNMP agent's ability to respond to an information request, as well as its level of responsiveness.
ipMonitor measures round trip time by sending a request for a fixed piece of information, sysUpTime oid 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0, to the specified SNMP agent and then waiting for a valid response.
The Monitor test will pass if the Monitor receives a valid response within the required timeout period.
The SNMP Monitor tests that:
The target SNMP agent is running and able to respond.
The response makes the complete round trip within a specific number of seconds.
