wmi ping, what is wrong here.

orionofmyeye

i found a wmi ping script that i tailored a bit for me and it appears to work correctly from the command line but when added to APM it doesnt seem to work right.

 

here is what i did.

add a node to orion (node A). it can ping one of two addresses in question by design

apm/orion server can ping both addresses by design.

from the apm server i run the ping script below with both IPs.  it succeeds on one and fails on the other (as expected since it is remotely executing on node A).  right?

i confirm apm/orion can ping both natively.  i confirm node A can only ping one of them natively.

i then add both scripts as a component in orion/apm and add them to node A (which is the iP listed in the script as strComputer).

both are showing green.  i would expect one to show down.  am i doing something wrong?

 

script ------

 

strComputer = "172.22.127.183"
Set objWMIService = GetObject(_
    "winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colPings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * From Win32_PingStatus where Address = '10.159.99.20'")

For Each objStatus in colPings
    If IsNull(objStatus.StatusCode) _
        or objStatus.StatusCode<>0 Then
        WScript.Echo "Statistic: 1 "
    Else
        Wscript.Echo "Statistic: 0 "
    End If
Next

 

script end -----

thanks

Hi Scott,

The script has to return an exit value to APM to define the status of the component. I added two lines in bold that should make the script work...

script ------

 

strComputer = "172.22.127.183"
Set objWMIService = GetObject(_
    "winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colPings = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * From Win32_PingStatus where Address = '10.159.99.20'")

For Each objStatus in colPings
    If IsNull(objStatus.StatusCode) _
        or objStatus.StatusCode<>0 Then
        WScript.Echo "Statistic: 1 "
        Wscript.quit(1)
    Else
        Wscript.Echo "Statistic: 0 "
        Wscript.quit(0)
    End If
Next

 

script end -----

Here is the list of the exit code you can return to APM:

Exit Code => Meaning
0 => Up
1 => Down
2 => Warning
3 => Critical
Any other value => Unknown

HTH,

Yann
