ExcludeVms Array false @() Exclude virtual machines with a specific name. Supports wildcard usage (*)
ActiveVms SwitchParameter false False Include only virtual machines that are currently running
WarningActiveVms Object false Allows to monitor on how many active VM’s are currently present and throws a warning in case it is within the threshold
CriticalActiveVms Object false Allows to monitor on how many active VM’s are currently present and throws a warning in case it is within the threshold
NoPerfData SwitchParameter false False Disables the performance data output of this plugin.
SkipVMHeartbeat SwitchParameter false False Skips the current virtual machine heartbeat status check.
VmEnabledState Object false Critical threshold for the Hyper-V VM current status
NegateVMState SwitchParameter false False Negates the VmEnabledState of this plugin and will then report all Vms CRITICAL, in case they are not matching the VmEnabledState.
Verbosity Object false 0 Changes the behavior of the plugin output which check states are printed: 0 (default): Only service checks/packages with state not OK will be printed 1: Only services with not OK will be printed including OK checks of affected check packages including Package config 2: Everything will be printed regardless of the check state 3: Identical to Verbose 2, but prints in addition the check package configuration e.g (All must be [OK])
ThresholdInterval String Change the value your defined threshold checks against from the current value to a collected time threshold of the Icinga for Windows daemon, as described here. An example for this argument would be 1m or 15m which will use the average of 1m or 15m for monitoring.
