Cool, with the link So as you can see you can easilly with WMI check for which product is installed and if it is up to date, but not if the antivirus has detected a problem. Tried this example and also in Powershell, works great. Best Regards Johnni

Hi Bert, Yes it is possible. create a plugin that monitors the SQL server and run it every 15 seconds and get a notification when any threshold has been violated or the communication is lost. Have a look at the example plugins from PCM to get an ideer on how easily it is to work with. Best regards Johnni

Hi Marius & Paul, Thanks for your good ideas and fast replies So now I can continue with the plug-in since I now know what the best practice would be.. Thanks again. Best Regards //CptRico (Johnni)

Hi There Is there a list of supported API commands?(have I missed it ). The plugin examples shows that running GetAdditionalComputerDetails() you can show some more information or add buttons to run additional custom commands. Just one question do you have to create the commandItem And SimpleItem first at plugin start-up or can you create/update groups/values dynamiclly. Thinking about creating a plugin the would have a button to retrive som client information, but I will not be sure if it will include 1 result or 5 for that matter and for that it could be great to create SimpelItem dynamiclly for each result returned. If this is not possible, can i just declare all the expected SimpelItem properties and then update the values dynamiclly everytime I run another function by presseing the commandItem. I noticed in the example of the computerDetails that you can update the revocation count automaticlly, by I want it only when i press the button created it for it. Hope my question is clear enough Best Regards //CptRico

Hi, Your suggestion of switching from error to normal is good. Just to have an on overview in the dashboard or phone if the problem actually solved it self in the next poll or action is required still to have it green all over. Today I.e if I have the on duty call I get 3 SMS with a down message and 5 min later I get 3 clear if the problem was just a glitch and solved it self. Brgrds Johnni

Hi Gents, Thanks for your reply. I was thinking to start with just to have e.g the Linux agent to grep for a specific pattern in a log file if true then notify. Maybe under the create rule feature. For windows this could be done easily with powershell or log parser would not require much to implement this. The schedulers could be done using quartz. Well just an idea Begrds Johnni

Hi again, Love your new roadmap inspiring to watch this software evolve to an even more useful product for all it administrators out there. Impressive stuff. One useful thing would be to parse a log for errors at a scheduled time and escalate if threshold is violated, just like you do with the event log. Best regards Johnni

Hi Marius, One thing that I will find very very useful is if you are having the on duty call and beeing responsible for a huge server group, that the alarms received clear them selves when problem is solved. E.g CPU or memory is too high on the db server, 5 min later it is okay. A notification is sent and the escalation is removed from the list. Best regards Johnni
