why not write a script to see if a process or exe is running and then have it email the results based on whether it is running or not?

Yes, possible with some work, but Kaseya should have this capability built into monitoring. I was surprised that it's missing, or maybe I'm just missing something obvious.

To add a data point, I created a monitor set to send an email when the target process starts or stops and assigned to all machines. I received emails from all agents (hundreds!) that the process had stopped. I'm assuming that this is because the process just plain isn't running, so the alert was triggered. In other words, Kaseya assumed that, because the process was not running when the monitor set was assigned, that it had transitioned to the "stop" state.

Does this also mean that a monitor set which monitors *only* for transition to the "start" state will be triggered if the process is running when the set is assigned to the machine?

The online help is sparse in this area. Here's all it says:

Alarm on Transition - Tell the system to Alarm as the process (application) transitions 'up' or 'down'.

Just a suggestion ofcourse, but what you could do is run a tasklist on the the workstations...

This should work.... please someone correct me if I am wrong



You will need two scripts...

Lets say you call them "Check tasks (1)" and "Check tasks (2)"

You will need to create (2) first, because you will need to call it up from (1)

In Check tasks (2)

Set it to "IF" , check variable.
Check a variable called "task_content" to see if your application name exists.
(for example ati325.exe)
THEN write a script log entry....


Now.... in (1)

Step1
Execute a shell command
"tasklist >> C:tasklists.txt"

Step2
Get file
c:tasklist.txt
set the server file path

Step3
Get variable
from file content
(input the file name.... tasklist.txt)
specify the name of the variable.... Now this is the variable we called up in script (2).... so that would be "task_content"

Step4
Execute script
"Check for task (1)"
