Alert if task delete
by cees09, October 31, 2018

is there a way this script could be modified to alert when a task does not exist. Sadly I do not know much about powershell; so I can't figure it out where to add something like that

by Pado87, January 31, 2017

Excellent works, I would like to use this check, but I need to send a warning exit code on running task. ( Sometimes I have the task that doesn't exit at all, like loop, and I would like to receive a warning for that )

Exclude running tasks
by steve_boohoo, September 30, 2015

Hi great plugin we run it as : -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_ms_win_tasks -t 60 Do running tasks still trigger an alert or just ones that fail?


Download
by funbe, June 30, 2015

Dear willemdh I'm not able to download the plugin. "Error establishing a database connection." Is the plugin still online? Thanks you in advance.


great plugin
by paul.jobb, June 30, 2015

I really like this plugin. I made a small mod to allow for overriding the root folder as we group ours in folders based on function, As someone else mentioned its a little easier for alerting in bigger IT organizations.


Works well!
by rfults, May 31, 2015

2 things: First, the multi-line output can be resolved by adding `r`n to the end of your output strings. I did this and added the ability to send an email on critical exit in my copy as I cannot rely on Nagios for notifications in our environment. Second, graphs don't work with pnp4nagios. Any idea how I can get this working ootb?


Works Great as advertised, but can a function be added?
by SteveBeauchemin, February 28, 2015

Using this to find failed jobs en mass is great. I have 6 MS Windows Job Server systems specifically used for scheduled tasks. This plugin lets me know when something needs to be dealt with. There is always a 'but...' in there somewhere. sorry. But... at my site with such a large IT team, I need to test for specific jobs and send alerts to specific people. Instead of just an 'Exclude' capability, can an 'Include' be added? Or maybe the ability to specify individual tasks, or regex includes? This would let me monitor our many job servers and send directed alerts to each of the 10 teams using it. Thanks. Steve B


Disabled tasks
by olorin, October 31, 2014

Thanks for this great script! Is there any way to exclude scheduled tasks with status Disabled ?


Permissions
by unique367, January 31, 2014

The script works great, but I need to run it as Admin. Do I need to give special permissions or disable something?


Great
