How to create powershell sensor PRTG Network Monitor for Microsoft Exchange?
Greetings!
I am creating a sensor for PRTG Network Monitor to monitor the status of databases.
There is such a powershell / xml script, everything works.
How to make PRTG Network Monitor count:
When False states are OK
When Active states are Error
Now in both states PRTG considers OK.
$servername = "servermbx"
$pssession = new-pssession -configurationname "Microsoft.Exchange" -connectionuri "http://$servername/Powershell" -Authentication Kerberos
$startsession = import-pssession -session $pssession -allowclobber -WarningAction SilentlyContinue | out-null
$dbstatus = get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus | select name,ActiveCopy
$dbcount = (Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus).count
$prtg = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?>
<prtg>'
foreach ($db in $dbstatus)
{
$dbname = $db.Name
$dbstate = $db.ActiveCopy
$dbvalue = "10"
if ($dbstate -match "False")
{
$dbvalue = "1"
}
if ($dbstate -match "Active")
{
$dbvalue = "2"
}
$prtg +="
<result>
<channel>$dbname</channel>
<value>$dbvalue</value>
<showChart>1</showChart>
<showTable>1</showTable>
<mode>Absolute</mode>
</result>
"
}
$prtg +="<text>The number of databases: $dbcount</text>
</prtg>"
remove-pssession -session $pssession
$prtg

I finally found the correct format:
<result>
<channel>$dbname</channel>
<value>$dbvalue</value>
<showChart>1</showChart>
<showTable>1</showTable>
<limitmode>1</limitmode>
<LimitMinError>2</LimitMinError>
<LimitMaxError>2</LimitMaxError>
<LimitMinWarning>10</LimitMinWarning>
<LimitMaxWarning>10</LimitMaxWarning>
<LimitErrorMsg>Your error message</LimitErrorMsg>
<LimitWarningMsg>Your Warning message</LimitWarningMsg>
</result>
Swap the values (False - 2, Active - 1) and use <LimitMinError>1</LimitMinError>
(do not forget to also enable <LimitMode>1<LimitMode>.
And also, after changing the sensor, you need to recreate it (or enable limits manually for already created sensors) - limits are not included via xml after sensor creation (only While creating).
