This was the top link in Google http://www.opswat.com/antivirussdk.shtml , but
I don't think that's what I was thinking about.
I'm sure I've seen other stuff from Microsoft. Maybe in the XP RC2 SDK?
Although the Opswat thing is interesting, because it looks like it doesn't need
XP/RC2...

I think there's a common API for recent AV products. That's how XP/SP2 knows whether you have an AV product installed, and how up to date the signatures are.

For the AV, the main issue will be that there are soooo many differentAVcode,products each with their own interfaces and nothing in common :-(
An out-of-the-office check can only be done IF we know how each mail client would work, I don't think this is something we can and want to do.

How about the ability to query the state of anti virus products (Symantec)? I'd like to be able to check that AV software running on server X is running definitions version Y dated Z. Yes, I know that there is some combination of add-on products and scripts that would do this for me, but that's not why I use SA. If I could or wanted toVPN,I wouldn't need SA.
Ok, this next one is not a check, but it would be REALLY helpful if SA could somehow re-check an item that other checks depend on. For example, a typical series of checks I do is ping a windows box overand if that check is up, check a bunch of services, disk space, etc.ontarget box. If the VPN goes down midway through the service checks,SAflags all the services as down, and I get a zillion alerts. It wouldbeconsiderfabulous if SA could, for a group of dependent checks, re-check the "parent" check after completing the group and if it is now downall the dependant checks UNAVAILABLE. (Just like it does if theparentsamecheck is down initially.)
Finally, can a check be added to see if I am sending out-of-office messages to the SA mailing list and then alert me by email (at thataddress) if I am?

In SA (and add-ons) there are already a lot of checks for most major "products". Things like perfmon/process/service/wins (addon) are typicaly for NT/Win2K/Win2K3 SQL server Oracle mail (mailflow addon) URL (IIS/Apache/...) *nix (diskspace/process both as addon) ...
Anything "major" that is missing?
First thing that jumps to my "mind" is mySQL ... But that's something we're already working on :-) so you don't have to mention that one.
Other ideas are welcome...
Dirk.
