Is there any reason why you could add this as an ICMP (Ping) only managed node in Orion?

This will allow you to monitor availability (up/down), response time, as well as packet loss.

Hi,

We want to monitor a service that is located in other datacenter (our poller is located in the Datacenter A and the service is in the datacenter .

this service interacts with 10 servers and we want to ensure the correct Latency between the nodes.

thanks

I noticed you uploaded several ping scripts to the Content Sharing Zone, then subsequently deleted them shortly thereafter. So I'm assuming you found a solution to your monitoring challenge. Vbscript isn't well suited for your use case as vbscript is only executed locally on the Orion server itself. You would need to use PowerShell, leveraging WinRM to have the script execute remotely to suit your requirements. You could also use .

Hi,

I've found a solution with vbscript.

I did the same for aix and linux systems.

linux script is executed locally in the orion server?

I understand linux script opens a ssh session and execute the script. Is this same for vbscript?

thanks
