Node is Warning. Windows Scheduled Tasks 'Windows Scheduled Tasks' has state: Warning. - how not to check disabled tasks

I have a server in Warning.

The only problem is: "Node is Warning. Windows Scheduled Tasks 'Windows Scheduled Tasks' has state: Warning. "
I disabled the task with the error. but the node is still in warning. Since this is not an alert, where can I configure this check that it does not check disabled tasks?

Disabled tasks should not report a failure unless their last execution failed. If you don't want certain tasked monitored by SAM's Windows Scheduled Task Monitor, you will need to move those tasks to a seperate subfolder outside of the root.

That is not entirely true. SAM's Windows Scheduled Task Monitor will only monitor those tasks that reside in the root. Any tasks that you don't want monitored should be moved into a subfolder.

I guess this has to be done in the SAM templates? In the "Windows Scheduled Tasks Template" I find the "Windows Scheduled Tasks Component Monitor"- And here I'm stuck. I dont find how work with that any further, so I could configure that tasks that are disabled cant produce a warning regardless of their outcome/state.

Have you clicked 'List Resources' on the node and deselected Windows Scheduled Tasks?

I dont want to deselect them, I want to change it, so disabled tasks dont get checked for errors.

The problem is reported by the "Windows Scheduled Tasks Component Monitor". Which I can't find in the SAM Component Monitors.

The SAM Windows Scheduled Tasks Monitor is an all-or-nothing type of monitor. You do not have the ability to select only specific ones to monitor. You can use a Powershell monitor to do the same type of check if you want to be more specific.

@mmorrison has a great script here that we used to get a start.
