I was looking for a script to get uptime statistics and found this: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10514
Unfortunately, this script use uptime.exe from Microsoft and do not work when an unexpected shutdown appears. In this case the lonely way to resolve the issue is to clean up the system eventlog.
I finally decide to write the script uptime.exe in Powershell
As it's wrote in Powershell, we do not need anymore of gawk.exe, grep.exe, nl.exe, sort.exe,uniq.exe, uptime.exe and perl scripts. Powershell 4.0 is now compatible with 2008/+R2, 2012/+R2 so... What else...
The Powershell script is launched by the win_uptime.cmd so the change of the xml files is not necessary.
So the installation of the script is exactly the same as describe in the post of wvr120364 (http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10514) just replace the content of the uptime directory by the contents of the zip file. That's it.
Last point, the output of win_uptime.cmd is:
hostname:Gateway.contoso.com sla_avail:99.99 cur_uptime:0000007435 tot_uptime:0002107881 tot_downtime:0000421974 tot_reb:37 mean_days:00.7917 tot_blue:0 avail:0.8332 sla_avail:99.99
And the graph:
- 2015-04-16 17_20_54-Graphs -_ Tree Mode -_Gateway - Windows Uptime Statistics.png (12.93 KiB) Viewed 1457 times
The tot_uptime must be in seconds and mean_days in days so when the xml wait for days and you fill seconds, the curves' scale explode.
