Monitor Microsoft SharePoint Server


The 'MS SharePoint check' checks whether the SharePoint services are running and whether the SharePoint 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:

  • Windows SharePoint Services Search
  • Windows SharePoint Services Timer
  • Windows SharePoint Services Tracing
  • Windows SharePoint Services Administration
  • Windows SharePoint Services VSS Writer

The following processes are monitored:

  • None

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 SharePoint checks, use your favorite text editor and make changes to the following file:
  ChkDefMsSharepoint.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 ChkDefMsSharepoint.ini file has the following format: 

[Microsoft SharePoint]
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).
