Question:
Is there is any way to easily generate a list of Nimsoft robots that are experiencing communication errors? Is there some script I can run or any function that can allow me generate it?
Answer:
Option 1:
You could use the nas Auto operator to EMAIL the alarm when you receive it: "Max. restarts reached for probe 'spooler' (command = spooler)"
Use a message filter such as: /.*Max. restarts reached.*/
or use logmon to parse the controller.log file and when it matches on *error*, EMAIL an alarm message to whoever is on call, etc.
Option 2:
To generate a list you can use the ProbeReport in the bin directory
...\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin
and sort on the Active (Yes/No) column and select the probes that are down and copy the list to the clipboard.
We don't have an out of the box probe that covers this request.
Option 3:
You can either try to create a script/custom probe to do something like this via the nas or solicit the help of Nimsoft Professional Services or one of our Placement Partners to write one. I would also suggest that you post a comment to the CA Community at https://communities.ca.com/community/ca-infrastructure-management to see if someone has already written such a script that you can re-use.
