Will the product enumerate and/or monitor active directory trusts and active directory sites?
If so can someone point me to the template.
Thanks
Anyone using APM to monitor Trusts and Sites in AD?
Can you outline exactly what it is that you would like to see monitored? What thresholds and such should be defined? With nothing more than "Active Directory Trusts" it's hard to nail this one down. What is the problem you're trying to solve?
If you're looking for a monitor that checks for the status of AD trusts like the one that came with the SCOM AD management pack here is something similar.
I have pieced together a powershell script that works against windows 2008 r2 servers. It uses the Microsoft_domaintrustsstatus class, which i'm guessing is on windows 2003 and 2012 in case you have DCs with that flavor of OS. I know there is a get-adtrust cmdlet, but that is only with Windows 2012. Anyway, just change the [domain] section to include the domain that you want to check the trust on. You'll have to create a template and add the powershell monitor with execute mode se to remote host and statistic warning and critical threshold set both to less than 1. This is my first go at scripting within Solarwinds so if there is any room for improvement let me know.
$trustStatus = gwmi -class microsoft_domaintruststatus -namespace "root\microsoftactivedirectory" -filter "trusteddomain='[domain]'" | select -property TrustIsOK
write-host "Message: $trustStatus"
if ($trustStatus -like '@{TrustIsOK=True}'){ write-host "Statistic: 1"}else{ write-host "Statistic: 0"}
Is this working? I've the same requirement for my client
