article Custom monitor not matching correct output

When executing your custom script from a Windows monitoring station using a .bat file you may find that the following items need to be addressed:

  • Ensure you have echo off in your .bat file.
  • If you are using a "does not match" threshold comparison, try switching to a "does not contain" threshold comparison as this typically produces better results.
  • The up.time string check will check only the first line of output for your message so ensure that the status you are looking for is in the first line.
