Script Parameters

The Computer Monitor Trigger sets the following parameters, which can be used by a selection script or by other scripts or notification messages in the job.

Parameter Name

Description

ResponseText

The body of the HTML page returned by the remote server.

ConnectionStatusCode

A code indicating the result of the connection attempt (see table below).

Action

A string indicating whether the trigger is firing because the connection has been broken or because it has been restored:

  • "ConnectionFailed": No connection could be made to the server, or it returned an invalid response.

  • "ConnectionRestored": The connection has been restored, or the server is now returning a good response.

FailureCount

If Action="ConnectionFailed", FailureCount Indicates the number of consecutive unsuccessful responses that have been received since the last successful response.

If Action="ConnectionRestored", FailureCount Indicates the number of consecutive unsuccessful responses that were received before the connection was restored.

You can use this parameter to escalate your responses. For example, you could configure your job to send a warning message to certain users after the connection has been down for 5 minutes, and send a more urgent message if the connection is still down after 20 minutes.

Status Code

Description

0

No error

10009

Generic error for invalid format, bad format.

10013

Permission denied. An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. An example is using a broadcast address for "sendto" without broadcast permission being set using setsockopt (SO_BROADCAST).

10014

Bad address. The system detected an invalid pointer address in attempting to use a pointer argument of a call. This error occurs if an program passes an invalid pointer value, or if the length of the buffer is too small. For instance, if the length of an argument which is a struct sockaddr is smaller than sizeof(struct sockaddr).

10022

Invalid argument. Some invalid argument was supplied (for example, specifying an invalid level to the setsockopt function). In some instances, it also refers to the current state of the socket - for instance, calling accept on a socket that is not listening.

10024

Too many open files. Too many open sockets. Each implementation may have a maximum number of socket handles available, either globally, per process or per thread.

10025

The IP address provided is not valid or the host specified by the IP does not exist.

10035

Resource temporarily unavailable. This error is returned from operations on non-blocking sockets that cannot be completed immediately, for example recv when no data is queued to be read from the socket. It is a non-fatal error, and the operation should be retried later. It is normal for WSAEWOULDBLOCK to be reported as the result from calling connect on a non-blocking SOCK_STREAM socket, since some time must elapse for the connection to be established.

10036

Operation now in progress. A blocking operation is currently executing. Windows Sockets only allows a single blocking operation to be outstanding per task (or thread), and if any other function call is made (whether or not it references that or any other socket) the function fails with the WSAEINPROGRESS error.

10037

Operation already in progress. An operation was attempted on a non- blocking socket that already had an operation in progress - i.e. calling connect a second time on a non- blocking socket that is already connecting, or canceling an asynchronous request (WSAAsyncGetXbyY) that has already been canceled or completed.

10038

Socket operation on a non-socket. An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. Either the socket handle parameter did not reference a valid socket, or for select, a member of an fd_set was not valid.

10039

Destination address required. A required address was omitted from an operation on a socket. For example, this error will be returned if sendto is called with the remote address of ADDR_ANY.

10040

Message too long. A message sent on a datagram socket was larger than the internal message buffer or some other network limit, or the buffer used to receive a datagram into was smaller than the datagram itself.

10041

Protocol wrong type for socket. A protocol was specified in the socket function call that does not support the semantics of the socket type requested. For example, the ARPA Internet UDP protocol cannot be specified with a socket type of SOCK_STREAM.

10042

Bad protocol option. An unknown, invalid or unsupported option or level was specified in a getsockopt or setsockopt call.

10043

Protocol not supported. The requested protocol has not been configured into the system, or no implementation for it exists. For example, a socket call requests a SOCK_DGRAM socket, but
specifies a stream protocol.

10044

Socket type not supported. The support for the specified socket type does not exist in this address family. For example, the optional type SOCK_RAW might be selected in a socket call, and the implementation does not support SOCK_RAW sockets at all.

10045

Operation not supported. The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced. Usually this occurs when a socket descriptor to a socket that cannot support this operation, for example, trying to accept a connection on a datagram socket.

10046

Protocol family not supported. The protocol family has not been configured into the system or no implementation for it exists. Has a slightly different meaning to WSAEAFNOSUPPORT, but is interchangeable in most cases, and all Windows Sockets functions that return one of these specify WSAEAFNOSUPPORT.

10047

Address family not supported by protocol family. An address incompatible with the requested
protocol was used. All sockets are created with an associated "address family" (i.e. AF_INET for Internet Protocols) and a generic protocol type (i.e. SOCK_STREAM).This error will be returned if an incorrect protocol is explicitly requested in the socket call, or if an address of the wrong family is used for a socket, e.g. in sendto.

10048

Address already in use. Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/IP address/port) is normally permitted. This error occurs if a program attempts to bind a socket to an IP address/port that has already been used for an existing socket, or a socket that wasn't closed properly, or one that is still in the process of closing. For server programs that need to bind multiple sockets to the same port number, consider using setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR). Client programs usually need not call bind at all - connect will choose an unused port automatically.

10049

Cannot assign requested address. The requested address is not valid in its context. Normally results from an attempt to bind to an address that is not valid for the local machine, or connect/sendto an address or port that is not valid for a remote machine (e.g. port 0).

10050

Network is down. A socket operation encountered a dead network. This could indicate a serious failure of the network system (the protocol stack that the WinSock DLL runs over), the network interface, or the local network itself.

10051

Network is unreachable. A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network. This usually means the local software knows no route to reach the remote host.

10052

Network dropped connection on reset. The host you were connected to crashed and rebooted. May also be returned by setsockopt if an attempt is made to set SO_KEEPALIVE on a connection that has already failed.

10053

Software caused connection abort. An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine, possibly due to a data transmission timeout or protocol error.

10054

Connection reset by peer. An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. This normally results if the peer program on the remote host is suddenly stopped, the host is rebooted, or the remote host used a "hard close" (see setsockopt for more information on the SO_LINGER option on the remote socket.)

10055

No buffer space available. An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full.

10056

Socket is already connected. A connect request was made on an already connected socket. Some implementations also return this error if sendto is called on a connected SOCK_DGRAM
socket (For SOCK_STREAM sockets, the to parameter in sendto is ignored), although other implementations treat this as a legal occurrence.

10057

Socket is not connected. A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using sendto) no address was supplied. Any other type of operation might also return this error - for example, setsockopt setting SO_KEEPALIVE if the connection has been reset.

10058

Cannot send after socket shutdown. A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket had already been shut down in that direction with a previous shutdown call. By calling shutdown a partial close of a socket is requested, which is a signal that sending or receiving or both has been discontinued.

10060

Connection timed out. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

10061

Connection refused. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the foreign host - i.e. one with no server program running.

10063

Specified host name is too long.

10064

Host is down. A socket operation failed because the destination host was down. A socket operation encountered a dead host. Networking activity on the local host has not been initiated. These conditions are more likely to be indicated by the error WSAETIMEDOUT.

10065

No route to host. A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. See WSAENETUNREACH

10067

Too many processes. A Windows Sockets implementation may have a limit on the number of programs that may use it simultaneously. WSAStartup may fail with this error if the limit has been reached.

10091

Network subsystem is unavailable. This error is returned by WSAStartup if the Windows Sockets implementation cannot function at this time because the underlying system it uses to provide network services is currently unavailable. Users should check:

a. That the appropriate Windows Sockets DLL file is in the current path.

b. That they are not trying to use more than one Windows Sockets implementation simultaneously. If there is more than one WINSOCK DLL on your system, be sure the first one in the path is appropriate for the network subsystem currently loaded.

c. The Windows Sockets implementation documentation to be sure all necessary components are currently installed and configured correctly.

10092

WINSOCK.DLL version out of range. The current Windows Sockets implementation does not support the Windows Sockets specification version requested by the program. Check that no old Windows Sockets DLL files are being accessed.

10093

Successful WSAStartup not yet performed. Either the program has not called WSAStartup or WSAStartup failed. The program may be accessing a socket which the current active task does not own (i.e. trying to share a socket between tasks), or WSACleanup has been called too many times.

10094

Graceful shutdown in progress. Returned by recv, WSARecv to indicate the remote party has initiated a graceful shutdown sequence.

11001

Host not found. No such host is known. The name is not an official hostname or alias, or it cannot be found in the database(s) being queried. This error may also be returned for protocol and service queries, and means the specified name could not be found in the relevant database.

11002

Authoritative host not found. This is usually a temporary error during hostname resolution and means that the local server did not receive a response from an authoritative server. A retry at some time later may be successful.

11003

This is a non-recoverable error. This indicates some sort of non-recoverable error occurred during a database lookup. This may be because the database files (e.g. BSD-compatible HOSTS, SERVICES or PROTOCOLS files) could not be found, or a DNS request was returned by the server with a severe error.

11004

Valid name, no data record of requested type. The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for. The usual example for this is a hostname -> address translation attempt (using gethostbyname or WSAAsyncGetHostByName) which uses the DNS (Domain Name Server), and an MX record is returned but no A record - indicating the host itself exists, but is not directly reachable.

 

 

20421

Service not available, closing TELNET connection. (This may be a reply to any command if the service knows it must shut down.(

20425

Can't open data connection.

20426

Connection closed; transfer aborted. The server had a problem and closed the connection

20450

Requested file action not taken. File unavailable (e.g., file busy).

20451

Requested action aborted: local error in processing.

20452

Requested action not taken. Insufficient storage space in system.

20500

Syntax error, command unrecognized. This may include errors such as command line too long.

20501

Syntax error in parameters or arguments. 

20502

Command not implemented.

20503

Bad sequence of commands.

20504

Command not implemented for that parameter.

20530

Not logged in.

20532

Need account for storing files.

20550

Requested action not taken. File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).

20551

Requested action aborted: page type unknown.

20552

Requested file action aborted. Exceeded storage allocation (for current directory or dataset).

20553

Requested action not taken. Filename not allowed. The filename probably has illegal characters.
