Re: Extending The Dude using WMI - a short tutorial

Now. Over to the Dude to create a new Probe called Citrix Active sessions: Image4.jpg This simply calls the .EXE we created above, passing in the name of the device to which the probe has been applied (in my case a Citrix server). Apply this probe to your Citrix server and you’re done. I now have a ...

Extending The Dude using WMI - a short tutorial

A short tutorial on extending the Dude using WMI. We run a Citrix farm for publishing certain applications to our users. We used to run Citrix MetaFrame XP, which made quite a lot of information available via SNMP. One of the metrics we quite liked as a measure of how busy each server was and wheth...

Re: Probe Thread

We run a couple of SQL Servers, and I found it useful to track the amount of memory that the SQLserver process was consuming - in this case I was looking for sqlsrvr.exe in the list of running processes, so to look for and plot the memory consumption for other processes, simply change "sqlservr...

Re: Probe Thread

Your probe looks correct (apart from the extra space after the 1.1). I am using very similar probes to check our web sites are working by looking for the string returned by the web server. I am using Dude 3.6 rather than 4.3 - I don't know whether the 4.3 behaviour is different. Some other things to...

Re: Probe Thread

A Function and a Probe to monitor the status of an array of disks in an HP Storageworks server. The problem is that a single oid will return an array of values (one for each disk), which are simply a text string. So you have to check each returned string for each element of the array looking to see ...

It consists of two parts: 1) DudeLogger.exe 2) SMS Send Message Dude Logger is a very simple VB program, which takes anything passed to it on the command line, and writes it out as a simple text file. There may be ...

Re: False Notifications

Update:

I noticed that this behaviour doesn't happen with the Dude client that runs on the server, only the Dude client running on my (and other peoples') PCs.

So I uninstalled and re-installed the Dude on my local PC, and all now appears to be fine.

Very odd behaviour!

False Notifications

After 2 years of trouble-free operation, I've just run into problems with the Dude notifications. I noticed that most, if not all, of the devices I am monitoring have extra notifications ticked (see screenshot). This is the 'notifications' screen for the 'ping' service for a particular device.

Re: the dude sms notification

What I did was to write a very simple APP in VB, which takes an alert from The Dude, and then sends this on to the SMS gateway. That way I could control the SMS gateway using a language I understood (VB6). In The Dude I created a new Notification called "SMS Send" of type "Execute on ...

The backup files are XML, so will open in a web browser. The interesting sections seem to be: - <ServerConfiguration> and - <Notification> You co...

Re: Bug? The Dude 3.2 - Notifications - Email CC field not w....

Anybody else experiencing this issues?
Yes! I just upgraded to 3.2 today, and didn't notice that the CC had disappeared from the email notifications until I read your post.

This is really annoying, as now I am the only person receiving alerts on network equipment failures!
