A have a few questions regarding probes that check if windows services are running.
I need a probe that checks if an Avaya services is running or not.
here is the screen shot of the function settings that i plan on using.
the dude is installed on a windows 2003 server the avaya server is alson on windows 2003
does SNMP need to be installed on both servers?
What permissions do i need in order for such function to work?
There is a good probe for services in the probe thread…
Putting this on a device label “appearance” will tell you how many instances of svchost.exe are running.
[array_element(oid_column(“1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2”), array_find(oid_column(“1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2”),“svchost.exe”))]
[array_find(oid_column(“1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.2”),“svchost.exe”)]
You need to create both a function and a probe that calls the function for it to be solid.

1)You need SNMP server software installed on host, which you want to query. You Dude server only generate SNMP requested, by himself.
2)What do you mean, by “permisions”? If you run your Dude server as Service, you already have all permision. On SNMP readable server you only need right to read snmp values.
