Windows custom script

[oliverm]

Hi chaps.

I'm still tinkering with a custom script i am created to monitor elements of my Windows servers.

If I setup zabbix agent to run the script as an item, is it enough that the script 'echo's the output on online when run as a test ?

I guess my real question is, how best to get the info gathered by the script in windows to the zabbix agent so that it can be returned to the zabbix server.

Has anyone got an example windows based WSH/VBS script of any type I can look at to see how they do it ?

Oliverm,

You can simply do a echo with vbs. Make sure that you use "cscript //nologo" when you call it. It works fabulous.

Here is a vbs I use to have Zabbix monitor if virus definitions are current on my servers.

Later,

Matt
