We have a requirement to measure unix server downtime for a month using geneos . We explored some of the plug ins available available in geneos but we were not able to find .

Requirement is geneos sampler should add the total time the unix server went down in month and display result. Thanks in advance.

There is no sampler to check the server downtime.

Considering you have a script (written in bash/perl or any other language for that matter) which is able to generate the required output, you could use such a script in the 'toolkit' plugin in Geneos.

Remember that the script should produce comma separated values as an output along with a header (title) record.

I would implement Gateway monitoring using the "Gateway-probeData" plugin. This will check that the Gateway can communicate with the Netprobe.

Additionally I have set up a crontab job to check the Netprobe is running

# Check and restart Netprobes 0,15,30,45 * * * * /script/to/check/all/probes.sh

Subsequently I would set up dbLogging in the GSE and the Gateway can store the historic data of the connectivity of the Server (via the Netprobe)
