Problem monitoring Messaging Queue (MSMQ)

Votes:

0

Hello,

we're trying to monitor directly from the PRTG master (without Remote Probe) Windows 2012 R2 Messaging Queues. Adding the monitor terminates with timeout, but using the Paessler WMI Tester with Select * FROM Win32_PerfRawdata_MSMQ_MSMQQueue at the PRTG master we get all required information from the remote system.

Is there any difference between the PRTG itself and the WMI Tester? Are there any more logs available why the PRTG is running into a timeout (log file e.g.)?

Hello,
thank you for your post.

Please make sure to review the sensor's remarks.

There's an option to save the "Sensor's Result" to disk within the sensor's settings, the logs result is stored on:

C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Logs (Sensors)

Please double check that:

  1. The device's address in PRTG is an FQDN and is correctly resolved on the core server where PRTG and the Local Probe Run.
  2. The Credentials for Windows Systems in the parent device are correct.
  3. You may also check the user account that is running the PRTG Probe Service, in some cases the impersonation might fail, if the WMI Tester worked (with a specific user account) check whenever the sensor in PRTG works when the PRTG Probe Service runs with that account instead of SYSTEM.

Best Regards,

Hello

thanks for the hint, using FQDN instead IP was the solution.

Best Regards
