Sensor Custom EXE/Script VBA Query MS SQL

Votes:

0

I wrote VBasic the query to MSSQL gives out a mistake in job - "Response not wellformed: "(C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\custom sensors\EXE\Demo VBScript.vbs(10, 30) Microsoft VBScript compilation error: Expected end of statement )" (code: PE132)"

Imports System
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Module Module1

    Sub Main()

Dim ConnectionString As String = "Persist Security Info=True;Data Source=10.1.0.142;Initial Catalog=master;Trusted_Connection=true;"
        Using Connection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
            Connection.ConnectionString = ConnectionString
            Connection.Open()

            Dim sSQL As String = "select sum(s_mf.size)*8/1024 " _
                   & "FROM sys.master_files s_mf " _
                   & "WHERE db_name(s_mf.database_id) IN ('prtg');"
            Dim objCmd As New SqlCommand(sSQL, Connection)
            objCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
            Connection.Close()
        End Using
    End Sub

End Module

As it is correct to write inquiry to SQL to VBA-job?

The query might be correct, but nothing is reported back to PRTG.

What is missing is a value and message plus exit code. Something like:

System.Console.WriteLine("0:Ok")
Environment.Exit(0)

In your case, this would probably read 

System.Console.WriteLine(sSQL & ":Ok")
Environment.Exit(0)

See also the "/api.htm?tabid=7" page of your PRTG installation

I read API, your answer doesn't answer a question - connectingstring to base and data acquisition from procedure or from query!

First, your script has to create an output in the format

value:message
Exit Code

so something like, as mentioned in the post before: System.Console.WriteLine(sSQL & ":Ok") Environment.Exit(0) Does the script run from the commandline? If so, what are the outputs there?
