Looking for a custom SAS validation script with mail option

sergie89 — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 15:24:31 GMT

Hello all,

I'm looking for a script or something else what makes possible to validate all SAS services (status check) every hour and send after each check a report.

Be example:

Day: 8/2/2018 Time: 15.15

Status SAS services:

SAS Metadata running

SAS Object Spawner running

SAS Web Server running

SAS Web App xx running

etc.

We have also configured SAS environment Manager. But an overview of all sas services in a mail makes a lot easier.

Thanks in advance.

@sergie89: You could create a simple shell script with something like this:

(date; echo; echo "Status SAS services:"; echo; /path/to/Lev1/sas.servers status) | mailx -s "SAS Status" your_name@yourcompany.com

Put that into a cron as the SAS Installer account to run every hour and you should be all set.

Cheers,

Spencer

Be mindful of alert fatigue with a setup like this. It doesnt take long until these emails will have a mail rule putting them in a folder and they go unread.

Consider setting up a job to email into a ticketing system when a fault is detected rather than just a status.
