Hi,
You can, of course, use a custom script for specific needs, but you may be happy to now that we will provide a native Task Scheduler CMA check with the August connectors release, which will be delivered in 1-2 days.
Just have a look here : https://docs.centreon.com/pp/integrations/plugin-packs/releases/release-notes/
Hi @Noemie , Task Scheduler for CMA is now available.
Tell me if you need anything else
Hello @fmattes,
Will you change this fonctionnality in a near future ?
Because, Tasks Scheduler is not really intuitive way to monitore Windows Server.

Hi @lolokai ,
Not sure i understand well your question.
There are plenty other checks to monitor WIndows Server (see https://docs.centreon.com/pp/integrations/plugin-packs/procedures/operatingsystems-windows-centreon-monitoring-agent/)
What other way than Task Scheduler are you suggesting to monitor Tasks on Windows Server ?
Regards,
@fmattes : I would like to monitor using custom power shell
Sorry I don’t understandard anything. I must create a command on the central server ? Where ? And how to apply it to a service ? @fmattes
You can have a look on this section
About creating a command
About creating a service
Hope it helps
@fmattes My question is just should I use OS-Windows-Centreon-Monitoring-Agent-custom as Service Template and create a custom command into Centreon link it to this template to work ?
Because is not usual to create a powershell command into Centreon.
Hi,
It is not necessary to use OS-Windows-Centreon-Monitoring-Agent-custom as Service Template.
You can create your own fresh new Service Template & command, and associate the service to the Host linked with CMA.
The command need to be associated (“connector” field) with “Centreon Monitoring Agent” connector in order to be handled as a CMA command and sent to the Agent.
@fmattes For Powershell a Write-Host is working for print the service output inside Centreon ?
@fmattes : I have problem using it :
