<![CDATA[Samba monitoring]]>Hello,

Is there a way to monitor samba similar to this https://www.netxms.org/forum/configuration/monitoring-ftp-daemon/msg10341/#msg10341 with externalparameter using smbclient //server/service -U user?

Because with ProcessCount it's not possible to tell whether samba is running or not.

Regards,
Nikk

Level 2 call is used.

Best regards,

Borgso, i will try smbstatus, but ProcessCount with smbd is faulty, because, there are still many smbd processes running, while samba itself is down. 😕

Victor, what are the status return codes?

Using this Net.RemoteShareStatus(share,domain,login,password)
It shows 0, also when i type incorrect domain, respectively OK for Text.

If you have Windows agent somewhere, you can use Net.RemoteShareStatus or Net.RemoteShareStatusText parameter. Syntax is following:

Net.RemoteShareStatus(share,domain,login,password)
Net.RemoteShareStatusText(share,domain,login,password)

Best regards,
Victor

If you want to check via ProsessCount, did you try "smbd"?

user@box:~$ ps aux|grep smbd
root     15030  0.0  0.2 122504  5756 ?        Ss   15:44   0:00 smbd -F
root     15031  0.0  0.0 122504  1508 ?        S    15:44   0:00 smbd -F
user   15032  0.0  0.1 124976  3524 ?        S    15:44   0:00 smbd -F
