Creating a Health Test Script

Use the following information to create scripts for health monitoring.

Supported languages for the plugin script are:

• Linux: any script language. The script should identify the language using a standard Shebang line.
• Windows: Powershell (.ps1), Batch (.bat), or Visual Basic (.vbs).  See attached powershell script that is for checking if a service is running (saved as a .txt)

The script should pass the following outputs:

• Status: one of the following exit codes:
  • 0: OK
  • 1: The monitoring script has detected a problem, to be logged
  • 2: The monitoring script failed to complete.
• Detailed message as printed to standard output

JetPatch Manager passes the following variables to the script:

• TEMPDIR: A temporary directory for writing in; will be automatically emptied after the script is completed.
• vAgent-specific parameters: All the fields that appear in the Managed Agent Settings tab of the management package. For a list of the actual parameter names, please contact JetPatch support.
