WUG-List, I have a WUG 7.04 server on Windows 2000 Professional with all the patches.
I read the IP-Custom Services white paper that I found on the Ipswitch web site and hacked a custom service monitor for NTP that checks if servers are a Stratum 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 7 NTP server. However I get false down reports for servers that are using this particular service monitor. But only on servers that are in remote data centers in other Cities. I am wondering if there is some Expect script option that I should use that would help reduce the number of false negatives? The basics of the custom service are: Name: NTP-Stratum-X-Check UDP, port 123 Timeout 5 seconds Send=%27%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%0 Expect=~%28(%1|%2|%3|%4|%5|%6|%7) It works 99.9% of the time for servers that are on the local subnet, I do get valid Service Down alerts when the services are really down. -Ben.
