Hi all,
I'd like to share the results of the research I've done on how to monitor Lync online users, Lync Inbound Calls and Lync Outbound Calls.
On the internet I've found a Powershell script, which I have modified to monitor the inbound and outbound calls.
Here are the scripts. To use the script in PRTG you have to do the following:
- Copy powershell.exe on the probe from c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\* to the EXE/XML directory in c:\program files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors
- Copy the script as a .ps1 file in c:\batch on the probe
- Create an EXE/ADVANCED script in PRTG
- Select powershell.exe
- Enter parameters: -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -file c:\batch\prtg-lyncuser.ps1 (or your script)
- Set security context to Use Windows credentials of parent device
Script to monitor Lync Online Users:
# prtg-lyncuser.ps1
#
# Loading current sip client connections as performance counter
#
param (
[string]$server= "YOUR LYNC FE SERVER, YOUR SECOND LYNC FE SERVER(OPTIONAL), YOUR THIRD LYNC FE SERVER(OPTIONAL)" # specify Servers
)
write-host "Start PRTG Sensor"
write-host "Server:" $Server
$serverlist = $server.split(",")
write-host "Serverlist count:" $Serverlist.count
$result="<prtg>`r`n"
foreach ($server in $serverlist){
write-host "Server: " $server
$value = (Get-Counter "\LS:SIP - Peers(Clients)\SIP - Connections Active" -ComputerName $server -ErrorAction silentlycontinue)
if ($error) {
# Skip Counters
write-host "Server: $server Unable to read $counter"
$error.clear()
}
else {
$result+=" <result>`r`n"
$result+=" <channel>SIPClients("+$server+")</channel>`r`n"
$result+=" <value>"+$value.CounterSamples[0].CookedValue+"</value>`r`n"

$result+=" </result>`r`n"
}

write-host "End: ExitCode "$error.count

if ($error) {
#write-host "Found Errors"
EXIT 1
}
It's working seamlessly on our systems in PRTG.
