Endpoint Manager

Performance

Checks CPU, RAM and network usage and triggers an alert if certain conditions are met.

File Size

Checks the disk space used by a specific file. Triggers an alert if the file size is less or more than a specific size.

Folder Size

Checks the disk space used by a directory. Triggers an alert if the folder size is less or more than a specific size.

Disk

Checks free disk space, or for large changes to free disk space in short periods. Trigger an alert if disk space falls below a certain level, or if there are large alterations to disk space in a short time period.

Service

Checks whether or not a named service is running. Triggers an alert if the condition is met.

Process

Checks whether or not a named process is running. Triggers an alert if the condition is met.

Event

Checks if a specific event occurs and alerts you accordingly. The condition monitors Windows event logs. You must specify the event ID, the criticality of the event, and the source of the event.

TCP

Checks whether a specific port is open or closed and alerts you accordingly. This is useful for important ports that need to remain open/closed for operational reasons.

You need to specify the host name/ IP of the target port, the port number, the polling interval (in seconds), and whether you want to test for an open or closed state.

Ping

Checks whether a host is online or not. You need to specifiy the host name, the polling interval (in seconds), and whether you want to test for an online or offline status.

Web Page

Checks whether specific content is present or not present on a webpage. You need to specify the URL, the content you want to search for, the polling interval (in minutes), and the present/not present status. You are alerted if the condition is met.

Device Status

Checks every managed device to see whether it has been online or offline for a certain length of time. You will receive an alert if the device has been offline/online for the length of time you specify.

Background. Every minute, managed devices send a message to Endpoint Manager to signal they are online. If EM does not receive this signal for three minutes straight then the device status is set to ‘Offline’. This condition will alert you if a device has been continuously ‘Offline’ (or ‘Online’) for the total length of time you specify.

Custom Script

Create a python script to monitor for your own set of conditions. Paste your script in the space provided. See Add Custom Monitoring Conditions if you need help with this.

Security Events

 Checks for significant security related events on the managed endpoint. Example events monitored are:

• Malware detected and handled

• Malware detected and not handled

• Unknown application is placed in the container

• An external device was blocked by device control
  

You can receive an alert when the condition is met, or automatically run a procedure.

Security Client Events

Alerts you when there are errors with Comodo Client Security (CCS).

CCS is the endpoint application which provides the antivirus, firewall and containment services. This monitor checks for any failure in those processes, including:

• Antivirus scan failed or interrupted

• Antivirus database update failed

• Antivirus scan interrupted

• Another antivirus is installed
  

You can receive an alert when the condition is met, or automatically run a procedure.

OS Patches Event

Alerts you on events when various types of Windows patches are installed. You can monitor the installation of:

• Critical Updates

• Definition Updates

• Upgrades

• Feature Packs

• Update Rollups

• Service Packs

• Tools

• Updates

• Security updates

Name

Enter a label for the script, shortly describing its purpose.

Description

Enter a short description for the script.

Check Period

Enter the time interval at which the script should be run on the endpoints to which the profile is applied.

Tip: Ensure that the check period is greater than the time taken for the script to run and complete, so that successive executions of the script do not overlap.

• By Status - The monitor will be triggered if the actual status is 'ON'
  
  
• By Status Changing - The monitor will be triggered if the status is changed from OFF to ON

Script

Enter your Python script in the text editor.

Note 1: Keep the following lines intact in the editor and enter your script below these:

import os

import sys

import _winreg

 def alert(arg):

    sys.stderr.write("%d%d%d" % (arg, arg, arg))

 # Please use "alert(1)" to turn on the monitor(trigger an alert)

# Please use "alert(0)" to turn off the monitor(disable an alert)

# Please do not change above block and write your script below

Note 2: If you want an alert to be triggered if the condition is met set the argument to alert parameter to 1, i.e. 'alert(1)'.

If you do not want an alert to be triggered even if the condition is met set the argument to alert parameter to 0, i.e. 'alert(0)'.

Note 3: You can import an existing script procedure in EM if you wish to create a new custom monitor script using an existing procedure as a starting point. To do so, click 'Add Existing Procedure' and choose the existing procedure. Edit the script as per your requirement as per Note 1. For more details on procedures, See Manage Procedures.

Note 4: In addition to the above, Python script monitors by the Comodo development team are available in the 'Monitors' folder under 'Configuration Templates' > 'Procedures' > 'Predefined Procedures'. You can add these predefined scripts by clicking 'Add Existing Procedure' and select from the 'Procedure name' drop-down and can be used directly without any changes. Feel free to try any script that fits your needs.
