Jeff,
If you're using NetView NT V5.1 ... then the status-check will work.
Let's say you have a config-file with the following single entry
(called c:\usr\ov\conf\web_servers.conf)
isHTTPSupported|80|WebServers|Web Server|||*
If can do a config-check with the following line:
nvsniffer -v -t 1 -T 5 -c d:\usr\ov\conf\web_servers.conf
Once the "WebServers" smart-set is in-place, you can do the
status check with the following command:
nvsniffer -v -s -t 1 -T 5 -r 15 -c d:\usr\ov\conf\web_servers.conf
The "-s" switch will initiate the status-check.
The "-r 15" will do the check every 15 minutes (via at job).
It works for me. If you're still having problems, then drop me
a line.
nvsniffer -? ...will give you some quick help.

Subject: Checking a port or service on NT
I have an IIS server that is crashing (no-one can access the web page on the
server). The server itself does not go down, just IIS. So I would like to
set netview up to send me a message when this happens. I tried using
nvsniffer to see if it returns isHTTPSupported, but even when IIS is down,
it still returns isHTTPSupported. So this doesn't seem to work. Has anyone
out there set netview up to do what I am trying to do ? If so how ? Why
does nvsniffer still return isHTTPSupported when the service is down ?
Thanks
Jeff
