Monitoring DFS NameSpace

Hello,

thank you very much for your KB-Post. I'm very much afraid we do not have native sensors for this in PRTG. Please consider writing a script for this, and then running it as a Custom Sensor.

best regards.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

I have created a PowerShell Script :

cls
$ErrorActionPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
if (Test-Path -Path \\groupesifa.com\societe)
{
    $Count = (Get-ChildItem -Path \\groupesifa.com\societe -Force).Count
    if ($Count -gt 0)
    {
        $Result = [string]$Count+":OK"
         write-host $Result
         Exit 0
    }
    else
    {
        $Result = "0:Invalid"
         write-host $Result
         Exit 2

    }
}
else
{
    write-host "0:Invalid"
    Exit 2

}

This script show the number of folder in the DFS NameSpace
groupesifa.com\societe

When i test, i have the following result : 20:OK

But PRTG Custom Sensor show me execution time and the value is still 0

Any Help ?

It may help to run the PRTG Probe Service under your account then. Or try impersonating the script to have PRTG run it under your account. Maybe the "LOCAL SYSTEM"-Account (default setting for PRTG) does not see the counter, and thus results in 0.

Hello,

I've changed the service account on the test machine. But the value is still 0 I've tried to changed the setting to use the herited credentials in the sensor but no change.

Hello,

I'm still having the same probelm. Any help please ?

Can you please have the sensor write the result to disk and post that here?

Hello,

On linux I have 3 parameter in write-host.

Like this: echo "0:1:SQL OK"

First is the return value :

1. 0 -> OK
2. 1 -> Warning
3. 2 -> System Error (network/socket error)
4. 3 -> Protocol Error (web server return a 404 error)
5. 4 -> Content Error (web page does not contain a required word)

Second are the value want to see in graph. Third are the message.

Try with "0:20:OK"
