NetXMS Support Forum

I am trying to get CPU usage of a process on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 using dos script. When I run dos script I am getting value. But on NetXMS server I am getting blank value. My dos script  is as following :-

@echo off
wmic path Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process get Name,PercentProcessorTime | findstr /i /c:w3wp >%temp%\cpu.txt
set /p cph=<%temp%\cpu.txt
for /f "delims=" %%2 in (%temp%\cpu.txt) do set CpuUsage=%%2
set CpuUsage=%CpuUsage:w3wp=%
set CpuUsage=%CpuUsage: =%
rem set "%~1=%CpuUsage%"
echo %CpuUsage%

When I run this dos script from command prompt I get following value :-
30

I have configured ExternalParameterShellExecin on agent configuration file as following :-

#
# NetXMS agent configuration file
# Created by agent installer at Sat May 20 17:52:36 2017
#

MasterServers = netxms.kochartech.com
ConfigIncludeDir = C:\NetXMS\etc\nxagentd.conf.d
LogFile = C:\NetXMS\Log.txt
DebugLevel = 9
AgentCommandTimeout = 40000
FileStore = C:\NetXMS\var
SubAgent = ecs.nsm
SubAgent = filemgr.nsm
SubAgent = ping.nsm
SubAgent = logwatch.nsm
SubAgent = portcheck.nsm
SubAgent = winperf.nsm
SubAgent = wmi.nsm
ExternalParameterShellExec=w3wpcpu:C:\NetXMS\scripts\CpuUsage.cmd


I have restarted the agent. Run Poll full configuration on Node from server console.
When I run following command from server I got blank value
c:\NetXMS\bin>nxget X.X.X.X w3wpcpu

On agent debug log file I got this

Kindly help how to resolve the issue and get value on server.

Hi!

Agent usually runs under local system account. Are you sure that your script will work correctly under local system?

Best regards,
Victor

Hi,

Yes, script is working under local system account. It is writing output to txt file. I have tried vb-script to get desired results, VB script is working fine and I am able to get results from ExternalParamaterShellExec.  But DOS script is not giving any results.

Regards,
Vijay.
