Samba monitoring

[Nikk]

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

Which distro are you using?

Ubuntu:

Samba running:

user@box:~$ status smbd
smbd start/running, process 1406

user@box:~$ smbstatus

Samba not running:

user@box:~$ status smbd
smbd stop/waiting

user@box:~$ smbstatus

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

Hi!

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)

Thanks for your responses!

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.

Net.RemoteShareStatus should return status code returned by NetUseAdd Windows API call. Level 2 call is used.

Best regards,
Victor
