Custom Agent monitoring-policy confusion

• Beginner with custom Agents

  Just read a few posts on Custom Agents and got all excited!

  I need to be able to monitor a specific folder and count the number of files with it.

  If I have used a script like

  strComputer = "."
  Set objWMIService = GetObject ("winmgmts: \"& strComputer & "\root\cimv2" ")

  Set colFiles = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("ASSOCIATORS OF {Win32_Directory.Name = 'c:\temp'} where" & "ResultClass = CIM_DataFile")

  WScript.Echo "TABLE MXQueue.
  WScript.Echo "START_SAMPLE_PERIOD."
  Set objWMIService = GetObject ("winmgmts: \"& strComputer & "\root\cimv2" ")
  Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")

  For each objItem in colItems
  WScript.Echo "Host.String.id ="& objItem.Name.
  Next

  WScript.Echo "Mxqueue_File_Count ="& colFiles.count. "
  WScript.Echo "END_SAMPLE_PERIOD."
  WScript.Echo "END_TABLE.

  As a custom agent that would do the trick? the above works well on a command prompt when I run cscript...

  Hi Mike,.

  You will not be able to download this script on its own, because the agent script needs a file to run.

  What you need to do is to create a CountScript.bat file that runs "cscript count2.vbs".

  Then you zip CountScript.bat and count2.vbs in a ZIP file named CountScript.zip and CountScript.zip in the generator to deploy Script Foglight Agent.

  When this agent is deployed and created, CountScript.zip will be extracted on the target host.

  When you enable this agent, CountScript.bat will run and generate the named parameters.

  Please find a way to remove the 'Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. "lines as the script will attempt to interpret these lines and generate errors.

• View the contents of the table on Custom Agent

  Hello

  I would like to create a dashboard with a table showing the ten entries with free low % of a custom agent that I wrote.

  The agent is when extracting data on data warehouses and each data storage capacity, % free and used. (this is temporary until we get approval from vFoglight)

  From what I see the agent is storing data as below

  • Agent_Name
    • tables
    • datastore_name
      • capacity
      • % free
      • used

  Is it possible to get a picture to view it as the below?

  Name of the data store	% Free	Used
  Datastore_3	10%	1.2 to
  Datastore_1	30%	800 GB
  Datastore_5	50%	500 GB
  ....

  Thank you much for the help

  Using WCF, it would be possible.  It is based on the normal approach of Foglight.

  • Find data
  • Enter the data in the structure you need
    • generally via a query or function
  • Send the result to a view in the context
  • Test it

  You can query against the Agent_Name/Tables level, to get you your ranks

  then use functions to dynamically create columns in the query result rows row

  Could start here http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/performance-monitoring/foglight-administrators/w/admins-wiki/6155.custom-script-agent-1-leverage-an-existing-monitoring-script-to-push-data-into-foglight

• Documentation of Custom Agents in development

  Are there documents specifically on the creation of custom agents and/or by creating the data model to host the data for these agents?  I understand that you can write about any script that collects data, but I don't understand how to set the data model for use with the script or if there are other common considerations that must be made during the development of the custom agents.

  There is a specific data model guide for Foglight, which includes a tutorial for adding new models.

  It is available online here: Guide of Foglight data model, or here on the Support Portal in PDF format: PDF data model Guide.

  For custom script agents, first read the Administration guide: Building Script Agents.

  Hope this helps,

• Custom agent - a power setting

  Allright, I have looked around and have not been able to find what I'm looking for custom agent documentation.  I have a custom agent script that I want to make it dynamic and re-usable by being able to pass a parameter.  The hope was so that I could deploy several custom agent in which each agent could pass the parameter to get their individual settings. Looks a lot like a logfilter agent where you create several people using the same agent, but feed you to the location of the logs that you want to crawl through the agent.  Similarly, I want to be able to feed my script parameter.

  Second, when you look at a custom property agent I see "cmdLine" property  Can someone explain the purpose of this property and how it is used?

  Considering how rarely you change settings as you describe, you can more easily deploy a simple configuration file to the location of the agent and set your configuration in the file.  The prototype config file could be included in the zip file you supply the agent script generator, and then be found and modified after the agent is deployed.  It is the process, I used for various agents of PowerShell script, but might work just about any language.

  Another approach would be to create a central configuration file and all have the script agents refers to the central location to get the configuration information as required.

  Given how limiting the F4 data structure is, there is not much point in getting more complex until a new script agent mechanism, possibly with a future platform F6.

• Monitoring Apache with a custom agent State

  Hi people,

  Foglight includes an ApacheSvr agent in the cartridge of the BONE that monitors Apache locally by analyzing the history of the Apache access.

  Some Quest engineers have collaborated on an agent based on a script that monitors the Apache remote by analyzing the output generated by the page Status of Apache.

  This information is available when apache httpd is compiled with the "mod_status" module and ExtendedStatus is now as described in: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_status.html

  When activated, the Apache /server-status page looks like http://www.apache.org/server-status

  The agent script runs under Unix. It collects, analysis and reports 21 measures focused on the Apache Foglight.

  If you are interested in this agent custom, especially if you have Apache status active on your site and would like to beta test the agent and providing feedback, please respond.

  Kind regards

• Custom data retention policy

  Hi all

  Is it possible to set up below the retention to Foglight (5.6.10) policy.

  * Save 10 minutes for 90 days and then purge *.

  Kind regards

  Roshan Varughese

  Hi Roshan,

  You must set all three generations in the custom retention policy to preserve data for 10 minutes.

  Please find the custom in FMS UI retention policy under: management data/servers/server management / retention policy/policy current. Here, select the menu drop-down and click custom.

  Once there you should be able to select 10 minutes for each generation, then purge the data after 3 months. (see image below)

  Keep in mind that political detention is very granular and the size of your database is likely to increase. Also, when you use larger slots in the user interface, the server will have to deal with more values and will add a certain amount of overhead.

  More information in Foglight documentation - creation of custom retention policies.

• Customer service group policy has no login (access denied)

  I had Windows 7 dell Inspiron 1018 and I thought it would be a good idea to go to 10 Windows but it was slow and I could not do things so I decided to reverte to Windows 7, which began the problem.

  He returned but not all I get is (the Customer Service of group policy does not logon and access is denied.

  I can get it to work again or have I lost all my work and another bit, or should I just buy a new machine and break the hard drive on my little machine

  Any help please

  Thank you it worked and I'm back to normal, until the next time. I could buy a Windows 10 for Christmas a gift for me

• Script agent - monitoring telnet to a specific port connection

  I created this script agent as described below. Although when I deploy and create agent, I don't see an agent created on the dashboard of the Agents, or the data browser.

  Any other suggestions? Recommendations to improve extensibility? Also, if I have several hostnames and several ports, what is the best way to implement who?

  on the other

  echo PORT_STATUS = 1:

  echo END_TABLE

  Thank you

  #AJ

  Hi AJ,.

  The best practice is to design your script so that it checks for the environment variables populated by a secondary ASP. If these environment variables are not defined, the script can set values of relief.

  I know that you have used the custom ApacheStatus agent. The collector for this agent, ApacheStatus.sh script, check the variables of environment generated by ASP. If they are not present, the script hard code a list of values. This allows the script to execute and generate data of interest from a list of servers Apache targets from the command line. You can modify your script to do the same.

  Kind regards

• change device name of user/pass to customer (agent-msync dm)

  Greetings,
  
  When I download the cab file lite Oracle and install it on my handheld I wonder about the user name and password. Once I have them enter the device successfully connects and records with my server. How can I change the username and password of this device later in the future on the client, if for example someone else gets the device? is it possible to change the username and the password of the dmagent and msync utilities that seem to be saved?
  
  This is possible thanks to an interface of code or c#?
  
  Thank you

  From now on, the device is intended to be used for a single user.

  10.3.0.3.0 will be a device sharing feature that i.e. the device can be shared between multiple users. If you can't wait until then, you can try this - save the credentials via msync.exe and then restart the device.

• Windows 8 could not connect to the Customer Service of group policy on my HP Pavilion

  We recently purchased a HP Pavilion laptop g6 C7C77UA #ABL with 8 64-bit Windows. It seemed to work fine until a week ago (we only had it for 2 weeks). I can access the computer through my user that I'm the system administrator, but my husband try to click on the user whenever he has a message that appears saying Windows cannot connect to the customer service group policy, please see your system administrator. He could access his side in all first, we bought the computer.

  I did troubleshooting and it comes up saying that Windows Firewall is configured incorrectly. I tried to go in the windows firewall, but it is not letting me, he just guard spinning and finally said that he does not.

  So far, I like my HP Pavilion, but I'm about to throw it out the window because of Windows 8. Please help me! Thank you!

  Take a look at this document, which covers aspects of the restoration of your laptop.  Please let me know if the troubleshooting steps to help you solve your problem.

• Custom Script Agent - do not display under host

  Hello

  I tried to create my first agent custom foglight 5.5 following some blogs posted here, the script that I use is the following

  off @echo

  NETSTAT - year | Find/c '8080' > D:\scripts\test\QAS_Count.txt

  FOR /F "tokens = 1 delims =" % in (D:\scripts\test\QAS_Count.txt) set QAS_Count = %% a

  echo QASCheckScriptTest TABLE

  echo START_SAMPLE_PERIOD

  echo Host.String.id = TestHostString

  the echo of QAS = % QAS_Count %

  echo END_SAMPLE_PERIOD

  echo END_TABLE

  I tried to keep it as simple as possible just to try it. all I want is the number of connections on a specified port.

  I managed to create the custom agent, deploy the agent to the host package, create the agent and enable it to collect the data, the log file indicates it collects data and there are no errors. I lived a few interactions of the script work some other product of errors in the agent log.

  However, my problem is that the agent does not appear under the host in the form of agents, I have waited long, restarted the service of fglam but no joy. I tried to clean the system of my first attempts, thinking they can cause problems but still no joy.

  I'm new to foglight no idea where start with this problem? also, I have the feeling that it would never work without removing all traces of the previous agents\deployments\scripts can someone explain how to remove everything from the system

  Thank you

  KeV

  Hi Kev,

  If agent is producing a correct output, but the measures do not appear in the model of the FMS, there is probably an error in the processing of these metrics on the FMS. We have seen this before when there is a conflict between the definition of the current version of the script with an earlier version. If you download the FMS log file and look for references on behalf of your script, you will probably discover the source of the problem. Often, you can work around a problem like this by:

  -change the name of agent script,

  -change the name from agent table, or

  -explicitly delete the previous definition of the type of agent

  Kind regards
