Wish #1 when assigning a service to a map object there should be a box
for
"double check before marking SVCDOWN if first check fails, pause XXX
seconds before double check"
with the XXX being configurable
so that when checking machines that are sporadically very busy or
when checking over a flaky network path you could double check things
before setting off the audible alerts in the maps and such.
Wish #2 is that when defining a custom service you could run any command
on the server and just look at the return code (0 or 1)
as to whether it passed or failed. It would also be nice if in the
definition of the service you could define a variable like $* for the
options to be passed to the command when run.
Then on a map object, you could define this custom service and there
would be a text string field where you could enter the arguments/options
to be passed to the command to be run as specified in the in the
custom service by the $*
This way Perl (for example) or any other scripting language could
be used on the WUG server to write custom service monitors....
Hell if you had other boxes around and set up a batch with a pscp.exe
command to run a remote command on a UNIX box or a router or whatever
you could check just about anything.
