defrag reports |
|
|
I want to schedule a weekly analyze of my server disks using the defrag.exe
command line tool. However I can get the tool to populate the event log
with it's report so I can get mom to email me the reports. Do you know a
better way or a work around? Manually going to 30 servers with all their
partitions is a nightmare... |

Hello,
Thank you for your posting!
You can try to configure a new Timed Event Rule to add a script response
to start the defrag.exe for the computer group that included all of the 30
servers and then use MOM reporting to subscribe the report
If you have any questions, please feel to let me know. I am glad to be of
assistance.

Does defrag.exe create a text log file? If so you can use the generic
ascii
text file provider (forget the exact name) to go through a text file
line
by
line and look for a certain word or words. If they are found, then you
can
generate an alert that would send you the results of the find.
I do this when monitoring BlackBerry debugging logs.

Re: defrag reports |

There is a provider in MOM, something like generic log file or something, I
forget. You use this provider if you want to go line by line through a text
file searching for strings. So in the defrag text file you could have this
event rule scanning the log file continuously and when it finds XYZ word or
words, phrase or phrases, then raise an alert and email you the findings.
Someone else can probably explain this better then me, but what I am trying
to say is that it is possible.
