Hi, we need to perform remote port checks from Sharepoint servers to AD (telnet to 389 for example). Is there a way for the results from the remote Sharepoint server to be passed to Orion?
This functionality is not provided natively out of the box but can be accomplished using PowerShell. The link below provides a working example of what this might look like. Note it will need to be adapted to support SAMs script output format, but otherwise it should get the job done. You may even be able to find someone in the Script Lab willing to help adapt the script to SAMs output format.
Scripts Must Report Status Through Exit Codes
Scripts must report their status by exiting with the appropriate exit code:
Exit Code
Meaning
0
Up
1
Down
2
Warning
3
Critical
Any other value
Unknown
Scripts with Text Output
Scripts report additional details by sending text to the script’s standard output.
In APM 4.0.2 and earlier, each line of output contained a single detail in the following format:
DetailType:Value
# Script output comment
Message: The directory contains too many files.
Statistic: 5
While this is still true, SAM now supports multiple values returned by a script using the following format.Statistic.Name1: xMessage.Name1: abc
Statistic.Name2: yMessage.Name2: abc
Detail Type
Required
Statistic
Yes
A numeric value used to determine how the monitor compares to its set thresholds. This must be an integer value, (negative numbers are supported).
Statistic.Name1: 123
Statistic.Name2: 456
Message
No
An error or information message to be displayed in the monitor status details. Note: Multi-line messages are supported. To use this functionality print each line using a separate command. For example:Message.Name1: abc
Message.Name2: def
