Active view and processsuveyor

[GOK]

I have made an active view of a host that has 3 services running, and they are monitored with processsurveyor ( service changes to running = 2, service changes to not running = 4 ) I inserted them into the active view map with the Insert Child objects option.

Dynamic polling interval is 15 seconds, when I stop the services they go red for 15 sec then they go back to green even though the services has not been restarted.

What do i need to change so they stay red while the service is stopped?

Hello

We are a little bit confuse with you description because the Process surveyor monitor processes and not services.

Its goal is to generate event when a process is missing (windows) our reach a specific state (Linuw x/unix)

If you copy the plugin in an active view you get the status of the plugin and not the status of the process that you monitor.

To get the status of the process in the active view you should monitor the counter of the event that are generated when the process state change.

You can read the following documentation example made with a trap but it is roughly the same principle.
The object in the active should read the event counter and on the retrun value you can change the color of the icon.

Another solution is to use the LUA scripting if you use an Extended Edition.
In that case you don’t need the Process surveyor plugin because you directly monitor the process from The active view object.

Read the following documentation to know how to launch a script from an active view object

Here is an example of script that monitor process. It can be necessary to adapt it to your exact requirement.

                 end
      end

else

In the active view rule you can check the return value and change the color according to it.
