Monitor Microsoft ISA Server


The 'MS ISA Server check' checks whether the ISA Server services are running and whether the ISA Server processes are running (and not consuming too much CPU/memory). It also checks whether the relevant WMI counters have proper values.

The following services are monitored:

  • Microsoft ISA Server Control
  • Microsoft ISA Server Job Scheduler
  • Microsoft ISA Server Storage
  • Microsoft Firewall

The following processes are monitored:

  • mspadmin.exe
  • W3Prefch.exe
  • isastg.exe
  • wspsrv.exe

The following WMI Counters are monitored:

  • None

All of the above items can be enabled/disabled to meet your requirements.

How to change the check definition of new checks

To change the default behaviour of new MS ISA Server checks, use your favorite text editor and make changes to the following file:
  ChkDefMsIsa.ini
This file is located in the following directory:
  <installation-dir>\Sys\Roles\ directory
for instance:
  C:\Program Files\ActiveXperts\Network Monitor\Sys\Roles\

This ChkDefMsIsa.ini file has the following format: 

[Microsoft ISA Server]
Services     = Service-1<Service-1-displayname>, 
               ... ,
               Service-n<Service-n-Displayname>
               
Processes    = Process-1<max-cpu(pct):max-memory(mb)>, 
               ... ,
               Process-n<max-cpu(pct):max-memory(mb)>
               
PerfCounters = WmiDataClass-1:WmiData-Instance-1:Condition-1,
               ..., 
               WmiDataClass-n:WmiData-Instance-n:Condition-n
NOTE: Use a '!' sign before a service, process or performance counter to disable the check by default (but still visible so it can be selected).
