RE: Revisiting NT service monitoring

To get this in your output
 Tomcat Service OK 20-05-2003 08:04:07 4d 21h 3m 2s 1/3 Apache Tomcat 4.1:
Started

You need this in your checkcommands.cfg

# 'check_nt_service' command definition
define command{
	command_name	check_nt_service
	command_line	$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v SERVICESTATE -d
SHOWALL -l $ARG1$
	}

and u need this in your services.cfg

define service{
	use				generic-service		; Name of service template to use

	host_name			JV-ITVBLD1
	service_description		Tomcat Service
	is_volatile				0
	check_period			24x7
	max_check_attempts		3
	normal_check_interval		60
	retry_check_interval		5
	contact_groups			itv-ops
	notification_interval		120
	notification_period		24x7
	notification_options		w,u,c,r
	check_command			check_nt_service!"Apache Tomcat 4.1"
	}

Live Life to the Max!

Almost there.

We just had the service die on us again with no warning.

Here is the response from your line in our production environment:

./check_nt -H our_nt_server -v SERVICESTATE -l spooler
All services are running


Well, some services are not running, and I want to specifically target
the status of the spooler service.   Continued searches through
groups.google and www.google turn up nothing.  The Netsaint
documentation doesn't help, either, unless I'm looking in the wrong
place (not the first time!).

Any additional help (from anyone) would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Scott
