Prtg Network Monitor Crack Serial Codes
Grimarlon Varner
I am working on a script that monitors the windows update service weather its running or not.We have some issues where we need to know if this service is running and flag it to alert.I have made some progress on the script to actually use the placeholder details of PRTG to auth correctly to the remote server but I just cannot get it to change the sensor red to alert with the exit codes.I can manually stop or start the service on the remote box and see it change in PRTG but it just will just not set it to Alert or red when the exit code is 2. It sees my messages in PRTG but just wont change the sensor.
After thinking about this long and hard, I realized that the invoke command does not pass the exit code to the local PS script. What I had to do was add another if statement to read the output of the invoke and then do an exit code so PRTG could pick it up.
I am not a PS GURU by any means and this is just what has worked for us. There is probably a better way to do this than what I have posted. Worked out a lot of this from the information provided by this URL and a Big Thank You for getting me in the right direction: -related/general-custom-exe-script/
I will note that I had to set the Domain or Computer Name under PRTG Settings of the server to the IP address. Without this I could not get it to work. So you have to set something either, domain or the IP address in that box when adding it to PRTG.
But what do they actually mean? My DNS server is constantly getting code: PE002, but the server is up and it is serving DNS. But I am constantly getting this but the code has no references to what might be the cause, no suggestions or ideas on what to look for. At this point it is just a set of ASCII codes.
PRTG offers a lot of data, but not a lot in the way or what that data is for. I just posed another question about an SNMP error I got on a switch a=ort and all it is is literally ERROR. Nothing else. What good does that do me?
PRTG Network is a monitoring solution. The Probe sends out requests and the results are saved for analysis and later review. If the Probe sends out requests and does not receive an answer, that's exactly what the Code PE002-No response says. This will alert the System Administrator that something is not correct, maybe something important which would not have been recognized without a 24x7 monitoring solution. This error can have so many causes that it is simply not possible to pinpoint the correct solution next to the error message.
And the target is not able to tell PRTG what's the fault, as it's not even responding. We already cover a lot of troubleshooting guides and suggestions in our manual and our knowledge base, but if the device is not responding, you will need to see if all requirements are fulfilled and if all settings of the sensor are correct.
The same counts for the interface error. Normally, there are different error codes attached to the error message like i.e. Error #223 or Error #2003 which are generic messages from the SNMP daemon. Typing these error code into the knowledge base search field, will result in very detailed trouble shooting guides and will tell you why PRTG, or any other Monitoring Tool was not able to poll the requested information. If the interface of the target device is broken, monitoring solutions are dependent on which information is provided by the device itself. If there is no such information available, it cannot be monitored.
Our Technical Support and the community will assist you to find a solution to successfully add the sensor to your monitoring. You can open new Posts in the knowledge base or contact us directly via [email protected]. We already added a lot of configuration hints to the sensor creation screen and will continue to do so in the future, but I'm afraid that we cannot cover every possible configuration characteristic in each of our customer's networks.
It would be best if you could provide screenshots of the sensor's "Settings" tab and let us know which PRTG version you have currently running. You can also write us an email to [email protected] if you prefer not to post screenshots here.
It may take a couple of days after the actual software implementation for the codes to be added here, but they are added as soon as the documentation team gets to it. Please excuse the delay. They have been added now.
And if you're encountering issues with SSL (Such as the error "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel."), try adding TrustAllCerts to the parameters:-Url " " -Timeout 10 -TrustAllCerts
The channel displaying the return code uses an already existing lookup (prtg.standardlookups.http.statuscode) to evaluate which codes are regarded as OK/Warning/Error.Feel free to create a custom lookup based on the existing one if you need.
On a side-note: There's also another lookup called "prtg.standardlookups.http.statuscodedetailed" which contains definitions for every single return code, instead of ranges as in "prtg.standardlookups.http.statuscode".
I am currently running the Powershell script that Stephan posted, and the script itself is running correctly (from what I can tell). PRTG, however, is not picking up on the value that the script is putting out, and I am getting "Unauthorized access" as the last message. Any thoughts?
I modified your version of the Powershell script (see below) so that I am able to successfully get response codes in our environment. PRTG is giving me an "Unauthorized Access" error when I tell the EXE/Script Sensor to run it. Any thoughts?
I have set the security settings to "Use security context of parent device." I am still getting Unauthorized Access, however I am showing that the value is 0. According to the manual, the #0 indicates that the script is running ok. Right?
How does it work with https?I have some Login-Sites which i can monitor with this script. I can open them with http and https. on one of the Server,only https is active an the other Servers will follow in time. on the Server with only https i get "Query Failed: Unable to connect to the server", wehne I use the "best Answer" script.
Hi,thank your for providing this script.I have a problem with the script and Windows Server 2019. I get following error when starting it with prtg:This version of %1 is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher. (0xD8)
@Luciano Lingnau thank you for the script it worked very good in my own environment, when I moved the script to the company it did not want to connect to the url because of ssl connection, so I had to add two more lines to the code for it to work ( even adding -TrustAllCerts did not do the trick ).
$AllProtocols = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12'[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $AllProtocols[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = New-Object TrustAllCertsPolicy
From what I've seen recently, different powershell versions and host operating systems will have their own nitpicks with SSL endpoints in powershell. I will consider updating the default script to include the code you've suggested :)
And as for the "Length" channel, I've included it because there are probably cases where this is relevant. And because the HTTP Advanced sensor also includes this channel by default(Length). And this sensor is meant as a custom alternative to the HTTP Advanced sensor.
PS. From testing all types of http response codes I've seen that the 10 second timeout line is not enough to catch 500 type errors and you get error on line 74 in PRTG since the page loads in 12-13 seconds due to the error so I advice on changing the Timeout to 30 seconds to 1 minute to be able to catch all types of http error codes.
This post details the process of exploiting CVE-2023-32782 in PRTG to gain remote code execution. PRTG Network Monitor, developed by Paessler, enables businesses to monitor their networks. It's commonly used in corporate networks and achieving Remote Code Execution (RCE) on this system can potentially compromise the entire organization, since it holds credentials for all network components.
PRTG's application has a sensor system for adding sensors to the network, a core function. This system could include a SQL Sensor to monitor the uptime or current load of your SQL Server. However, this means that PRTG contains credentials for all the systems it logs into, and all are run as SYSTEM, an ideal target for RCE.
During testing, we found several vulnerabilities, but CVE-2023-32782 stood out. When configuring the HL7 sensor, we discovered that we could inject a parameter that was then set as parameters to the HL7Sensor.exe binary.
However, reverse engineering the binary revealed the -debug flag, a hidden feature that allows us to specify a path where a debug file can be written. Further digging showed that this could be used to write into arbitrary folders.
One significant challenge was that the file we write is a debug log file, which contains a lot of extraneous information. However, PRTG accepts .bat files, which are forgiving. Syntax errors are discarded, and valid bits are run.
After running the payload, we run the HL7Ssensor. What happens behind the scenes is the parameter injection is exploited and the file exploit.bat is correctly written into our target folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\EXE\exploit.bat
