NetWorker 9.2.1.0 Service status notifications

First of all - NMC has nothing to to with NetWorker.

NMC & NetWorker Administration are both admin GUIs. If they fail, NW should just continue to run, even if they have not been opened or they failed. The only service/daemon NMC 'shares' with NetWorker is the NW client daemon, nsrexecd. Consequently, if NMC and NW both will fail it obvious that - for whatever reason - nsrexecd became unresponsive or it died.

You are talking about services. So my guess is that you run a NW/Windows environment. Here you should see 8 services on a NW server with NMC installed:

NetWorker Backup and Recover Server
NetWorker Message Queue Adaptor
NetWorker Remote Exec Service
NetWorker Snapshot Management Service
EMC GST Database Service
EMC GST Service
EMC GST Trap Handler
EMC GST Web Service

To control that you may use the following PowerShell Script:

$command = "net start | findstr NetWorker > C:\temp\nw_services.txt"
invoke-expression $command

$command = "net start | findstr 'EMC GST' >> C:\temp\nw_services.txt"
invoke-expression $command

$all_lines = get-content C:\temp\nw_services.txt | measure-object -line
$no_lines = $all_lines.lines

if ($no_lines -lt 8 ) { & send-MailMessage -To whomever@blabla -From service_monitoring@blabla -Subject "At least one NetWorker service is missing" -Body "For details - see attachment" -attachments "C:\temp\nw_services.txt" -SmtpServer "your_smtp_server" -encoding ([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8 ) }

This script could be written more elegant ... but I wanted you to understand it.

P.S. - I hate if such 'editor' is auto-reformatting the text and convert strings to emojis
