Windows Task Scheduler: State

Distribution	Official part of Checkmk
License	GPLv2
Supported Agents	Windows

This check plugin monitors the last return state of Windows tasks. The check plugin uses a default mapping from return code to monitoring state to handle the return codes specified under https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/taskschd/task-scheduler-error-and-success-constants. For these return codes, the check plugin will also display the appropriate error message. Any return code not listed under the above link will by default result in the monitoring state CRITICAL. Furthermore, by default, the check plugin will go WARNING if a monitored task is not enabled.

The check plugin can be configured via the rule "Windows Tasks". Here, users can customize the mapping from return code to monitoring state and users can also change the output produced by the check plugin for a given return code. Finally, this rule allows users to modify the monitoring state of tasks which are not enabled.

Note that for this check plugin to discover any services at all, you need to activate the Windows agent plugin "Windows Task Scheduler".
