Hi there,

I would like to know if it is at all possible to run a script/program on a remote host when a state of a monitored device/service changes to a warning?

Basically we want to run a simple batch file on a remote client server that restarts certain services when the CPU usage of the specified server has been sitting at 80% or more for 1 minute.

Any ideas? I am quite new to PRTG

Hello,

this should be possible with a notification on a State Trigger with the condition "Warning". The notification should of course be a script notification, and the PRTG Core Server should be able to connect to this remote host directly (as notifications are executed by the PRTG Core Server).

best regards.

Thanks for the reply!

I had that set up initially, the thing is the script would only run on our PRTG Core Server as opposed to the remote host. There is only a scripts folder on the Core server as well.

You would of course need to connect to the remote host with the script itself.

Would this work when the remote host is on a completely different network/domain? Considering I can't communicate with the remote server (Aside from RDP and Core Monitoring) - I have only seen remote scripts run in a "local" environment

I'm afraid you can only try that.

Can the script be exicuted on a remote probe?

Not sure if you figured this out but depending on the script, you may be able to do it with using a PsExec command from the PRTG server. I use that to run commands on our workstations when I need to. You would need to configure the scripts independantly for each workstation though. Here is a link to PsExec:
