Starting and Stopping a Monitor

 

To start a Monitor from the command line, use the start command with the parameter type=monitor. For example:

scommand cmd=start url=http://myserver/CloudTest username=bob password=secret type=monitor name="/My Monitor"

If the Monitor starts successfully, SCommand will output an instance ID that will be used to stop the Monitor later on. For example:

The monitor '/Monitoring Linux, step 2' was loaded successfully, with instance ID '7781-c1ea3960c1ee041b:5e03cfcf:11929ca1f8e:-7ff4'.
The monitor has started.

In this example, you would stop the Monitor use the following command:

scommand cmd=stop url=http://myserver/CloudTest username=bob password=secret type=monitor instanceid="7781-c1ea3960c1ee041b:5e03cfcf:11929ca1f8e:-7ff4"
