i was testing batch files using below script

@echo off
del c:\test\d.txt
c:\PsExec.exe \\server -u domain\username -p password netstat -n |find /c "IP/PORT" > c:\test\d.txt
for /F %%i in (c:\test\d.txt) do set myRESULT=%%i
echo RESULT IS  %myRESULT%
if %myRESULT%==0 (echo ":Server is Not Connected") 
REM Set PRTG Sensor to Warning by returning <1>
Exit 1
else (echo ":Server is Connected")

if i run script normally i get proper output in txt file.

but if i use this batch scripts using PRTG EXE/Script sensor the output in txt file changed to 0 (output should be 1 or higher if server is connected)

need help...

Hello there,

Please try this:

  • In the device you added sensor to, try setting admin credentials in the device's "Settings" (section "Windows Credentials").
  • In the EXE/Script sensor's settings configure it to "Use Windows credentials of parent device".

Does it work then?

Kind regards,

Erhard

Response not wellformed: "(Connecting to server... Starting PSEXESVC service on server... Connecting with PsExec service on server... Starting netstat on server... netstat exited on server with error code 0. )" (code: PE132)

@echo off
del c:\test\d.txt
c:\PsExec.exe \\server -u username -p password netstat -n |find /c "IP" > c:\test\d.txt
for /F %%i in (c:\test\d.txt) do set myRESULT=%%i

REM Set PRTG Sensor to Warning by returning <1>
Exit 1
