VBScript to Javascript Question

dquerry

So i have an alert set for for a vbscript that calls a javascript file and i cannot get this to run...

 

My VB script: filename test.vbs
strProgramPath = "C:\ScriptAlerts\test.js"

set objShell = createobject("Wscript.Shell")

objShell.Run strProgramPath

 

My Java script: filename is test.js

WScript.Echo("Test");

This odd combination works fine with i click the vbscript (which solarwinds calls for the alert) but i never see the message box when solarwinds triggers the alert. I have looked under the dbo.alertlog table and it says it was successful at running the vbscript. Obviously, I am going to expand on this... I already have a different Javascript file wrote which logs onto a linux machine and starts a script running on it.  My goal is to automatically start applications and scripts when one of them goes down.  Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The file will run under the Account that the Solarwinds Alerting Engine is tied to. You will need to change the account to the account that you are logged in as to see the window.

 

1. Go into Services.msc

2. Select the Service you want to modify, in this case the Solarwinds Alerting Service

3. Right click and select Properties

4. Click on the Log On Tab and select the Radio Button for This Account

5. Enter in the Service account that has permissions to the Folder.

6. Press OK

7. Right Click on the Service you just Modified and select Restart

   (This will change the Running service to the new Account)
