Interesting question MichaelD.

It is really quite simple. Here is the process, step by step.

(1) Create and confirm your monitoring script. This is just like developing a functional test script...which exactly what a monitoring script is. A functional test that you run repeatedly to make sure something you want to be true really IS true. Get monitoring going

Here is one of the manual pages on this:

(2) The typical monitoring script measures time in some way. You do this inside the eValid script by adding ResetTimer and ElapsedTime commands at the point where you want performance data.

There are specific commands to send an ALARM signal when an elapsed time value exceeds a threshold.

Here is one manual page about this:

(3) Use the scheduler to set up execution of your script on the necessary schedule, e.g. once ever 5 minutes. Here is the a description of you you can do this using the Windows scheduler:

(4) Now you should be running "stand alone" with ALARM messages going to a specific email account (all of this data is in the script).

(5) If you are using one of the many free or low costs monitoring reporting system you will need to rely on their documentation to get data reported into that particular framework. Every one is different.

Here is how to integrate eValid with Nagios-based monitoring reporting dashboards:
