Monitoring robocopy job

[PiotrIr]

I’m looking for way to monitor robocopy job results running as a task on windows server and just wander if somebody could advise me something.

If it starts in cmd batch file, you can add the following in top of your cmd-batch:

@echo off

set "logfile=[COLOR="blue"][I]<path_to_log_file>[/I][/COLOR]"

[COLOR="blue"][I]rem This will restart batch itself with redirected STDIN and STDERR to log file.[/I][/COLOR]
if NOT "%1" == "restarted" (
	cmd /C "%~f0" restarted > "%logfile%" 2>&1
)

[I][COLOR="blue"]<your instructions here>[/COLOR][/I]

Smersh,

Thank you fro your reply.

Unfortunately I'm not as experienced as you so not quite sure what I should do with the code. I've added it to begin of coping script but it looks nothing happen so:
logfile=<path_to_log_file> - is it path for zabbix agent log folder?
How to create trigger for this?
Could you give me more details how it works and how to log success or failure?

Scheduler job has exit code 0 if successful and other (or only 1?) if not. If it only what you want to monitor then you can use item like this:

eventlog[Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational,[B][COLOR="blue"]\"\\name_of_job\"[/COLOR][/B],,TaskScheduler,^201$,,skip]

In the above code, color marked path to job in Microsoft Task Sheduler (windows 7/2008 and possible above). The highest is "\". Next comes "\Microsoft\", etc. Text of the event getting by above item is similar to: Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\name_of_job" , instance "{some_CLSID_here}" , action "C:\Windows\system32\Robocopy.exe" with return code 1.
For monitoring, you can use trigger like this:

{hostname:eventlog[Microsoft-Windows-TaskScheduler/Operational,\"\\name_of_job\",,TaskScheduler,^201$,,skip].regexp(with return code 0\.$)}=0

that mean not with return code 0.

P.S. My previous post is not for monitoring by zabbix...

Thank you Smersh

Hi!
You can use the zabbix_sender too on the same .bat file redirecting the result to a character variable. I thinks is easier and faster than the log monitoring.
