Exec Remote Command on win Hosts

[bashman]

Hi,

I would like to execute a VBScript, my trigger:

{HOSTNAME:<key>.last(0)}>0

my remote command:

HOSTNAME:C:\<path>\cscript.exe uppools.vbs

my action conditions:

(A) Trigger = "Mytrigger"
(B) Trigger value = "PROBLEM"

(A) AND (B)

It doesn't work, but i runnig the command on the host works.
There's no log entry so I don't know if the remote command is w

I tried this:

HOSTNAME:C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe

But it didn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Just a few ideas:

1. Have you allowed remote execution in Zabbix agent ?
(EnableRemoteCommands=1 in zabbix_agentd.conf)

2. Have you checked Zabbix error log ?
(defined by LogFile in zabbix_agentd.conf)

3. Have tried to increase debug level in agent ?
(DebugLevel in zabbix_agentd.conf, 3 by default; you can raise it to 5)

4. Running an interactive program like notepad doesn't seem a good idea. You'd better try a simple batch script (something like "echo It works > c:\temp\mylog.txt")


Hope this helps

Hi Alixen,

Thanks for replying so fast.

1. I allowed remote execution in Zabbix agent.

2. I checked Zabbix error log, but there was no entry.

3. I will increase debug level in agent to 5.

4. I will try to run something like "echo It works > c:\temp\mylog.txt"

Now I get a log entry like this:

Requested [system.run[C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\cscript.exe uppools.vbs,nowait]]

3840:20091209:091323 Sending back [1]

I get "mylog.txt" with "It works", but my VBScript doesn't work. If I execute the Script on the local host it works.

Thanks for your help.

[bashman]

I tried this entry in Remote Command:

{HOSTNAME}:C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\uppools.vbs

And it worked!.

Thanks!
