When a problem is detected, there are often times when the steps you would take are nearly always the same. Two prime examples are ...
 
  • If you run low on disk space, your first step might be to clear down temporary files
  • Or if a service stops, you want to restart it, then check why it failed.

But why do these manually, when the monitor can do it for you ? With Sentry-go, you can easily define the actions you wish to take. If these don't resolve the problem (or maybe if they do), you can then be alerted.
 

  Respond by Taking Automatic Action
 
In response to a detected fault, you can configure Sentry-go Plus! to take action automatically, saving you time and resolving the problem in the quickest possible time. For example you can ...
  • Launch an external command or start an 3rd party application in order to transfer control to another utility.
  • Run a batch file, where only simply logic is required, e.g. to delete temporary files. 
  • Run a VBScript, where more complex logic can be performed etc.
You can create files & scripts directly, or use for those less familiar with programming or scripting, the Scripting Wizard provides an easy way of generating the appropriate actions. Or why not visit our on-line Scripting Library & download scripts from there.

In addition, Sentry-go Plus! responses can also be run under a different user account, for logic that requires specific permissions or access rights.

Once the external task has been completed, the monitor re-runs the check in order to ensure the problem has been resolved. If it hasn't, an alert is triggered to inform you of the fault etc.

  Other Resolutions
 
Depending on the check being performed, Sentry-go Plus! can take other autoamtic action as well. These options include ...
 
  • Rebooting the local server
  • Restarting a failed service
  • Launching X copies of an appliation
  • Terminating an application
  • Pausing or deleting a print job
  • Redirecting a print queue
  • Terminating a SQL connection
