We use a script to check if Altaro Backup Works:
For this example we set the variables fix with paramters of the servers
# Altaro Backup Monitoring #------------------- # Description: Modified script by Robert # Original script: (c) 2014 Stephan Linke | Paessler AG # Parameters: # -VM: VM Name # -BackupType: local or offsite # -MaxAge: Maximum age of the log entry to be considered checking (in hours) # -LimitEntries: Maximum number of entries to check # -Loglevel: The numerical level of the log file # -ProviderName: Provider of the Log file # -EventId: The ID of the Event # ------------------ param( # [string]$VM, # [string]$BackupType, # [string]$Machine, [string]$VM = "GeRN-RadiNETPro", [string]$BackupType = "physical", [string]$Machine = "GeRN-RadiNETPro", [int]$MaxAge = 24, [int]$LimitEntries = 10, [string]$LogName = "Application", [string]$ProviderName = "Altaro Physical Server Backup" ) if ($BackupType -eq 'local') { $EventID = 5000 } elseif ($BackupType -eq 'offsite'){ $EventID = 5005 } elseif ($BackupType -eq 'physical'){ $EventID = 5100 } else { Write-Host "0:Specified BackupType not local or offsite or physical, quitting"; exit 2; } try { $Events = (Get-WinEvent -ComputerName $Machine -FilterHashTable @{ProviderName=$ProviderName;LogName=$LogName;ID=$EventID;StartTime=(get-date).AddHours(-$MaxAge)} -MaxEvents $LimitEntries) } catch [Exception] { Write-Host "0:Can't find anything for $ProviderName in your $LogName eventlog. Please check Log name, Provider, Log ID, EventID, ComputerName and Credentials" exit 2; } foreach ($i in $Events) { if ($Events.Message -match 'Backup result: Successful') { Write-Host "0:$($BackupType) Backup $VM completed in last $MaxAge hours successfull"; # Write-Host $Events.Message; Exit 0; } } Write-Host "2:$($BackupType) Backup $VM failed in last $MaxAge hours"; Exit 2;
Result in Powershell on PRTG-Server:
PS C:\Windows\system32> C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\EXE\Altaro-monitor_physical.ps1 0:physical Backup GeRN-RadiNETPro completed in last 24 hours successfull
Result in PRTG:
Systemfehler: Can't find anything for Altaro Physical Server Backup in your Application eventlog. Please check Log name, Provider, Log ID, EventID, ComputerName and Credentials (Code: PE022)
Configuration in PRTG:
Programm/Skript: Altaro-monitor_physical.ps1 Parameter: -VM 'GeRN-RadiNETPro' -BackupType 'physical' -Machine 'GeRN-RadiNETPro'
Why does the Powershellscript on the server works and why does not from PRTG?
