Invoke-IcingaCheckService¶
Description¶
Checks if defined services have a specific status or checks for all automatic services and if they are running and have not been terminated with exit code 0
Invoke-IcingaCheckService can be used to check the state of specified services against a user definable threshold.
In addition the plugin can be used to check for all services which are configured to run automatically on Windows
startup by not defining a specific service during plugin call. In this case the plugin will return ‘CRITICAL’
for services which are set to Automatic
and not running, but only if the service ExitCode is not 0.

Arguments¶
Argument | Type | Required | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
Service | Array | false | @() | Used to specify an array of services which should be checked against the status. Supports ‘*’ for wildcards. |
Exclude | Array | false | @() | Allows to exclude services which might come in handy for checking services which are configured to start automatically on Windows but are not running and weren’t exited properly. |
Status | String | false | Running | Status for the specified service or services to check against. |
FilterStartupType | Array | false | @() | Allows to include only services with a specific startup type inside the monitoring, in case you check for a list of specific services by using -Service |
MitigateUnknown | SwitchParameter | false | False | This will tell the plugin to return OK instead of UNKNOWN, in case no service was added to this check |
OverrideNotFound | String | false | Unknown | This argument will allow you to override the default behavior of the plugin in case a service was not found on the system. By default, it will report UNKNOWN but you can set with this argument if the service state should be OK, WARNING or CRITICAL instead |
Verbosity | Int32 | 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]) |
NoPerfData | SwitchParameter | false | False | Disables the performance data output of this plugin |
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. |
