Windows Scheduled Task Monitor Sub-Folders

Please enhance WSTM to include the ability to monitor tasks within a sub-folder. (Currently monitoring is limited to the root of the Task Scheduler Library)

  • Every good administrator organizes tasks in submaps and not all tasks have the same severity when failing.  Its a must to monitor schedulled tasks in subfolders as well.  And they all must have there own separate warning and critital level.  Tasks added later should be monitored as well and warning and critical value should default to the template.

  • Some of our monitored servers provided different services for different clients, monitoring the sub folders is a must.

    It would be beneficial if we could select which folders are monitored.

  • Has anything like this ever happened? Specifically, "We would also like for the ability to somehow check/uncheck the monitoring and/or alerting on certain tasks so that we may be able to work on one of them without having to suppress alerting for the entire set."?

  • In our use case, having all tasks under the root becomes problematic.  We have servers dedicated to running scheduled tasks, and found early on that putting all of the tasks under the root makes finding the one(s) used for certain areas a pain.  We thus have split them into various sub-directories.

    Echoing zackm, we would certainly like the ability for Orion to monitor these sub-directories.  We would also like for the ability to somehow check/uncheck the monitoring and/or alerting on certain tasks so that we may be able to work on one of them without having to supress alerting for the entire set.

  • It was discussed, but this client (and some of my previous ones) would much rather have their organized system versus dropping everything into one flat folder.

    This is what most ask for, at a minimum. The ultimate request is to provide the ability to select certain tasks via check box, whilst still keeping their folder structure intact.
