Hi - A question about custom services. Ipswitch tech support told me that "Currently there is no way to do this natively from within WUG" and suggested this list.
I have a remote data collection system, reachable from my WUG box via ssh, which receives periodic application status info from various application servers [which I can't reach directly]. What I'd like to do is define a custom service to: - run a script on my WUG box, passing it parameters via expect script to identify a particular node, application, service - have that script connect to my remote data collection box via ssh, query it [local SQL], and return the data to be parsed via expect script So my question is: Is there a simple way to do this without: - writing COM code [I'm not a developer] - setting up some kind of fake TCP/IP service [e.g. web server] to have WUG query So basically, I want to use local script output as a proxy service monitor, so WUG can handle polling, thresholding, alerting. I didn't see anything right off the bat in the WhatsUp KB. I'm new to this list, if there is a FAQ with answers that address this please point me there.
