Wmi Custom Sensor with Null value

Votes:

0

Good day, i just have 2 customs sensor using a WQL File with this content:

SELECT workingSetSize FROM Win32_Process where name = 'w3wp.exe' and commandline like '%XXXX%'

I want to check the Memory of a individual Pool on my server and it works just fine but the problem is that i DON'T want to have a Down Notification when the value is NULL (when nobody are using the web app) Is there any Settings step that i missing to avoid Down Icon Fire up when the value is null? Or there is a way to edit the query to return some value (like 100 or 200) when value is null and avoid red Down Alarm when value is null? Please let me know your feedback, thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,

Gian Carlo

Hello,

not in the Cusomt WMI (WQL)-Sensors, but it should be possible to script this kind of 'logic' into a powershell or vb-script sensor.

best regards.
