StarWind Software

Hi!

Currently I only monitor services that access starwind devices, thus implicitly the availability of starwind. But I would feel better to monitor the status of HA devices directly as well.

First I had a look at the Windows Event Manager. But you have to keep realtionships between old and new entries for each device to get the current state of a HA device - not really a suitable solution.

Then I had a look at some Powershell eamples. But again I didn't found any suitable properties to get the status of a HA device.

SNMP does not seem to be implemented...still.

So how can I get the current status of properties like sync status, lost channels, etc. of my HA devices?

You can use enumDevicesTargets.ps1 example and check for the SyncStatus property of an HA device. 1 stands for "synchronized", 2 for "synchronizing", 3 for "non-synchronized".
Let me know if you need more information.

Hi Boris,

I've already plyed with the example scripts. But what I'm missing are information about the number of active/inactive synch channels, status of the partner node(s) and so on.

Which tool do you use for monitoring?
I use PRTG and I managed to write a quite simple powershell script to return each device's status (not the link status). Not bad, because I have other sensors to monitor network connectivity, free storage space, cpu, etc...

bertram,

I am not sure you can get the status of sync/heartbeat interfaces from StarWindX. You might want to monitor that using networking monitoring tools. StarWind relies on the physical networking, so that way will definitely work. batiati's approach does make sense, I believe.
