Windows scheduled task monitoring

Votes:

0

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to monitor the state of a given Windows Scheduled Task.

There used to be a sensor that is now deprecated since version 16.x.

The recommended sensor to replace it is also old (2016) and the manual seems to be no longer available...

Is there a more recent way to monitor such a point?

Thanks for help,

Thomas Williamson

Hey,
The Tool of PRTG Tools Family should work further.
As we don't offer a native sensor for this, we need to ask you to contact PRTG Tools Family directly.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. PRTG Tools Family's website seems dysfunctionnal.

The contact and manuals pages in particular are not available.

Hello,

I managed to get support at support[at]prtgtoolsfamily[.]com.

The manual can be downloaded here: https://prtgtoolsfamily.com/manuals/ScheduledTask2XML.pdf.

I eventually managed to make the sensor functionnal.

Thanks for help!
