Alert wrong when instance is already running: 0x8004131F about check_ms_win_tasks HOT 7 CLOSED

Never had that error. Ideally it should be possible to exclude errors as a parameter.

from check_ms_win_tasks.

Checking documentation:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383604(v=vs.85).aspx

SCHED_E_ALREADY_RUNNING
0x8004131F
An instance of this task is already running.

from check_ms_win_tasks.

might be even more error numbers in there that can be applied to the rules set in the ps1 script to minimize the alerts of a running instance/task

from check_ms_win_tasks.

ElseIf ( $ObjTask.LastTaskResult -eq '0x8004131F'-or $ObjTask.LastTaskResult -eq '0x00041301' -and $ObjTask.Enabled ) { If ( ! $Struct.InclTasks ) { If ( ! ( Compare-Array -Str $ObjTask.Name -Patterns $Struct.ExclTasks ) ) { $Struct.RunningTasks += $ObjTask $Struct.TasksRunning += 1 } }

from check_ms_win_tasks.

last one is more correct when following the documentation

from check_ms_win_tasks.

Hi,

We are also facing the same issue, receiving CRITICAL alert even though task is running because of 0x8004131F Error code.

Modified the ps code as suggested to fix the issue.

from check_ms_win_tasks.

Integrated this in the last commit. Closing.
