Not too bad for a rough draft<\/strong>
\nThe script executes plink, and outputs the data to a file. The script then checks to make sure the file was created properly and collects the contents to be e-mailed. It also renames the file according to the time of execution, so a “physical” history of the results can be referred to later. This script can then be run as a Windows scheduled task to execute at desired intervals.<\/p>\nI have modified the script a little more extensively, including things like posting the results to a database as well as some replication lag alerting. Look for more information about how to do this in some followup posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
