advanced exe script error (PE018)

Votes:

0

Hi, I build a simple SSH script but is not executed and I get the time out error.

Here the script 

"<prtg>"

New-SSHSession -ComputerName 172.20.3.1 -Credential $Credential -AcceptKey >$null

    "<result>"
    "   <channel>TEST</channel>"
        "   <value>"

    if ($Res = Invoke-SSHCommand -Index 0 -Command "ping -c 1 172.20.1.1" > $null)

    {
        "1"
        "   </value>"
        "   <float>"
        "1"
    }

    else

    {
        "0"
        "   </value>"
        "   <float>"
        "0"
    }

"       </float>"
"    </result>"
"</prtg>"

Debbuging the sensor I only the file with (Sensor#).Data.txt but not the (Sensor#).txt

Any Idea?
Thanks

If anything, that'd be PowerShell, from what I can tell :) What are you trying to achieve here? Pinging a host via another one? The SSH Remote Ping Sensor might be what you're looking for.

This is an example. I'm trying to execute commands on a Remote machine to collect some data from server unreachable from PRTG. Those server and the bridge server are all Linux servers.

The problem is that I get that error PE018 but when I execute the command from shell the execution is almost instantaneous.

Also the log file for this sensor do not generate the sensor.txt file but only the one data.txt

Any suggestion?

Thanks

But the script is somewhat messy and won't work :) Check out the following for running commands on SSH hosts: https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/71923-monitoring-linux-distributions-incompatible-with-the-ssh-disk-free-sensor

Note that we can't help with the modification or development of scripts in general :)
