VLA Email Notification Question

[bob_bourque@waters.com]

Hello All,

Sometimes over the weekend, our backup system for our NI license server does not turn the license server back on.  So I get a ton of requests to turn the license server back on when I come in on Monday mornings.

My question is: is there a way to get notified via email (or other means) that the license server is not up and running?  I am running VLA 2023 Q1.

Thanks!!

Currently we don't have any such feature to notify when server stops running, however you can easily create a custom notification by using any scripting language, whenever VLM server is running you can check for nilm.exe process, as soon as it stops you can trigger the notification.

OK, that sounds quite reasonable and something that I will do!  Thanks for replying to my question.

I created a simple vbs script that uses the Windows Task Scheduler to run the script (on Sundays for me, after the full system backup).  If anyone is interested in the script, email me.
