Hi,

I am trying to set up a custom monitor to tell me if my Oracle TNS Listener
is operating.  

If I was on the command line, I would type in:

        TNSPING <service name>

The response for a successful TNSPING (Run from the WhatsUp Server) would be
like this:

        TNS Ping Utility for 32-bit Windows: Version 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
on 11-MAR-20
        04 10:24:58

        Copyright (c) 1997 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.

        Used parameter files:
        <path to SQLNET Directory>\sqlnet.ora


        Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
        Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
        (HOST = <ip address>)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME =
<service name>)))

        OK (140 msec)

I am looking for the "OK" on the last line.

I went in WhatsUp Gold v8 --> Configure --> Monitors & Services --> New

        Service Name: TNS-Listener
        Service Type: TCP/IP Service
        Network Type: TCP
        Port Number:  1521
        Timeout:      5
        Script:
                SEND=TNSPING <service name>
                Expect=~.*OK.*

I then set this service to be checked during polling.  
I ran the debug log during polling and got this response:

        Checking <machine name> : 02 : TNS-Listener 
        [<ip address>] >>> TCP COHS CHECK 1521 on <ip address>
        [<ip address>] connected
        [<ip address>] >>> TCP COHS CHECK 1521 on <ip address>
        [<ip address>] 000: Send=TNSPING <service name>
        TNSPING <service name>
        [<ip address>] 001: Expect=~.*OK.*
        [<ip address>] <<< TCP COHS EXIT=14
        TCP/IP Service check complete. FAILED
        Check Complete (-1) <machine name> : 02 : TNS-Listener

I know the service is currently running, but WhatsUp continues to say that
the service is down.

Can anyone shed any light on what I'm doing wrong or tell me a better way to
do this?
