Azure Log analytics - availability of a service - windows

I am trying to visualize the availability of a windows service by using the System event log of a machine, which is stored into Azure Log analytics. When the service is running, I consider it as a 1 and when it is stopped, I consider it as a 0, so that I can graph it out
| where EventLog == "System" and Source == "Service Control Manager" and EventID == 7036 and Computer =="COMPNAME"
| parse kind=relaxed EventData with * '<Data Name="param1">' Windows_Service_Name '</Data><Data Name="param2">' Windows_Service_State '</Data>' *
| where Windows_Service_Name == "Svc_Name"
| extend status = iif(Windows_Service_State == "running", "1", "0")
| summarize min(status) by bin(TimeGenerated , 1m)
| order by TimeGenerated, min_status desc
However, I am not getting any charts by selecting the charts on Azure Log analytics window. How can I produce a graph of availabilty using this query ?
Regards,

So there is two issues in this approach, the first is the actual syntax causing your issue. You are treating the status as strings and not numbers. If you remove the quotation marks hugging the numbers the chart will work.
The second part is that these logs are event based, which means that it will just log 1 event when its stopped and 1 event when its started. So looking at a specific time is impossible. You will in your graph just see last event change and after the retention time for the log passes and there has been no changes there will be no events at all.

Prevent NFC Service app from opening when reading empty tag with enableReaderMode

Moving from the enableForgroundDispatch (I don't seem to get it working on api 32) intent based way of reading NFC-tags to enableReaderMode. The latter one works well, but every now and then the NFC Service app is opening, showing 'emtpy tag' message. Is there a way to disable this, in code? It's true that the tags are empty, only reading and using the tag Id. Code look like the following;
Bundle opts = new Bundle();
opts.putInt(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_READER_PRESENCE_CHECK_DELAY, 250);
getNfcAdapter().enableReaderMode(this, tag -> {
// passing tag to get tag.getId()
myViewModel.setTag(tag);
}, NfcAdapter.FLAG_READER_NFC_A |
NfcAdapter.FLAG_READER_NFC_B |
NfcAdapter.FLAG_READER_NFC_F |
NfcAdapter.FLAG_READER_NFC_V |
NfcAdapter.FLAG_READER_NFC_BARCODE |
NfcAdapter.FLAG_READER_SKIP_NDEF_CHECK |
NfcAdapter.FLAG_READER_NO_PLATFORM_SOUNDS
, opts);

Composite index is not getting registered. It is struck in ENABLED status forever

I'm running janusgraph with cassandra and ES as backend. Following is my script used in building the composite index.
JanusGraphManagement mgmt = graph.openManagement()
def addPropertyKeyIfNotExists(JanusGraphManagement mgmt, String keyName, Class keyType, org.janusgraph.core.Cardinality cardinalityType) {
if (!mgmt.containsPropertyKey(keyName)) mgmt.makePropertyKey(keyName).dataType(keyType).cardinality(cardinalityType).make()
}
vertexCompositeIndexName = "vertex_data_composite"
addPropertyKeyIfNotExists(mgmt, "vertex_id", String.class, org.janusgraph.core.Cardinality.SINGLE)
addPropertyKeyIfNotExists(mgmt, "tenant", String.class, org.janusgraph.core.Cardinality.SINGLE)
addPropertyKeyIfNotExists(mgmt, "entity", String.class, org.janusgraph.core.Cardinality.SINGLE)
addPropertyKeyIfNotExists(mgmt, "entity_type", String.class, org.janusgraph.core.Cardinality.SINGLE)
addPropertyKeyIfNotExists(mgmt, "first_seen_at", Long.class, org.janusgraph.core.Cardinality.SINGLE)
addPropertyKeyIfNotExists(mgmt, "first_seen_source", String.class, org.janusgraph.core.Cardinality.SINGLE)
addPropertyKeyIfNotExists(mgmt, "last_seen_at", Long.class, org.janusgraph.core.Cardinality.SINGLE)
vertexId = mgmt.getPropertyKey("vertex_id")
tenant = mgmt.getPropertyKey("tenant")
entity = mgmt.getPropertyKey("entity")
entityType = mgmt.getPropertyKey("entity_type")
firstSeenAt = mgmt.getPropertyKey("first_seen_at")
firstSeenSource = mgmt.getPropertyKey("first_seen_source")
lastSeenAt = mgmt.getPropertyKey("last_seen_at")
if (!mgmt.containsGraphIndex(vertexCompositeIndexName)) {
mgmt.buildIndex(vertexCompositeIndexName, Vertex.class).
addKey(vertexId).
addKey(tenant).
addKey(entity).
addKey(firstSeenSource).
addKey(entityType).
addKey(firstSeenAt).
addKey(lastSeenAt).
buildCompositeIndex()
}
println(mgmt.printSchema())
mgmt.commit()
mgmt.close()
graph.close()
graph = JanusGraphFactory.open("/etc/opt/janusgraph/janusgraph.properties")
mgmt = graph.openManagement()
mgmt.awaitGraphIndexStatus(graph, vertexCompositeIndexName).call()
It has been more than an hour and still the composite index status is in ENABLED. It never became REGISTERED.

From JanusGraph index lifecycle you can see that your index is already ENABLED and can be used. You don't need to wait for the index to be REGISTERED in this particular case.
Normally index transition in the following order:
INSTALLED - The index is installed in the system but not yet registered with all instances in the cluster.
REGISTERED - The index is registered with all instances in the cluster but not (yet) enabled.
ENABLED - The index is enabled and in use.
DISABLED - The index is disabled and no longer in use.
Usually after your created the index it becomes INSTALLED, then you wait until all JanusGraph nodes pick up the newly created index and it changes the status to REGISTERED. As soon as it is REGISTERED (meaning all JanusGraph nodes know about it) you can enable the index or start REINDEX process which automatically enables the index after reindex is finished.
So, why your index changed the status to ENABLED immediately instead of transitioning from state to state? That's because JanusGraph has a special optimization which enables newly created indexes immediately if all it's keys were created in the same transaction. In your situation all properties were created in the same transaction (most likely). Thus, your index is now ENABLED. You don't need to do anything else because your index is already in use.
P.S. As a side topic, not directly related to this use-case but related to the issue when the index cannot change it's state from INSTALLED to REGISTERED you can checkout the following suggestions.

Why does the first response takes more time in GAS web app?

Edit: I am using clasp. Updated the code to the actual GAS!
I have a GAS deployed as a web app. We send POST requests from Slack via a slash command and it needs a response in less than 3000ms because GAS can't handle asynchronous code.
At the first request, it takes more than 3000ms to send a response but on the following requests, it is around 1500ms.
The doPost function looks like the following.
var exports = exports || {};
var module = module || { exports: exports };
Logger = BetterLog.useSpreadsheet('spreadsheetId');
function doPost(request) {
var startExecutionDate = new Date();
var path = request.parameter.path;
Logger.log("Request received with path: " + path);
var response = Responses.Error;
var token = request.parameter.token;
if (path.startsWith('/slack')) {
Logger.log("Slack request");
var slackRouter = new SlackRouter();
response = slackRouter.post(request);
// ...
}
// ...
}
And this is the code for the Slack Router.
var exports = exports || {};
var module = module || { exports: exports };
var SlackRouter = (function () {
function SlackRouter() {
}
SlackRouter.prototype.post = function (request) {
var path = request.parameter.path;
switch (path) {
case Routes.Team:
Logger.log("For team");
// ...
}
};
return SlackRouter;
}());
exports.SlackRouter = SlackRouter;
I have the timestamps for each log.
First attempt
| Timestamp | Delta in ms | Log Message |
|--------------|-------------|---------------|
| 11:22:34:164 | 0 | Path: ... |
| 11:22:35:354 | 1190 | Slack request |
| 11:22:35:462 | 108 | For team |
Second attempt
| Timestamp | Delta in ms | Log Message |
|--------------|-------------|---------------|
| 11:22:45:047 | 0 | Path: ... |
| 11:22:45:164 | 117 | Slack request |
| 11:22:45:350 | 186 | For team |
I had several ideas already like the web app goes to a sleep state but since we calculate delta from the first log message it doesn't make sense.
So what is going on behind the scenes? Are you aware of any easy workarounds? If possible I don't want to build a microservice to send a response to Slack in time and later send the actual response.
The Apps Script servers don't keep every script ever written or deployed loaded in memory, and so scripts that haven't been run in a while need to be loaded from disk first. This is usually referred to as a "cold start time" in Cloud providers.
Answered by Eric Koleda on Google Apps Script Community forum
The most glaring issue is your use of ES6 syntax in your doPost() method.
Google Apps Script does not support ES6 template string syntax and only partially supports destructuring assignments. So that might be your issue. Your doPost() probably fails to return a value as a result so Slack likely repeats the request until it times out.
Try removing the BetterLog library. That may be causing the initial first-time delay.

Power-shell script to return the Service Tag of a server will return service tag = "2"

I am trying to get the Service Tag of a server , so i run the following script:-
((Get-VMHost | Get-View).Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo | ?{$_.IdentifierType.Key -like "ServiceTag"}).IdentifierValue[1]
but the script returned that the service tag = 2.
so is this correct? as i know the service tag will be a unique number and should contain a combination of characters + integers, something as follow E1*****2*B****2.. but will not be a single character as in my case??

Powershell - Add (default display) object property values from pipe to string

Update 2: I ended up figuring this out while writing it. I figured I'd post it for anyone else muddling through. See sub-heading 'Resolution - Get only default properties', or the answer. Please feel free to respond with alternate (especially better!) methods or comments.
Update 1: I started out without a way to do this, I've since found a way for ALL properties. I've left the build-up for anyone else confused like I was, but my current problem is that I want JUST the default display properties - see sub-heading 'Get all Properties'
Let's say I have a collection of objects in powershell - the specific example I'm working with is a collection of events acquired using the get-winevent cmdlet.
Does anyone know an elegant way to get the values of all the (default) properties of each object, from the pipeline, and add them to the end of a string? Especially a way that doesn't involve needing to know which properties you want.
For example, using variable $events containing some event log entries, if I simply call $events powershell will make some assumptions about the properties I want and format them as a list:
PS C:\> $events
TimeCreated ProviderName Id Message
----------- ------------ -- -------
11/09/2014 3:59:... Microsoft-Window... 4634 An account was l...
11/09/2014 3:58:... Microsoft-Window... 4634 An account was l...
However, if I try to precede the returned entries with a string, I get the property names rather than values:
PS C:\> $events | %{"NEW RECORD" + $_}
NEW RECORDSystem.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventLogRecord
NEW RECORDSystem.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventLogRecord
PS C:\> $events | %{"NEW RECORD" + $_.properties}
NEW RECORDSystem.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventProperty System.Diagnostics.E
venting.Reader.EventProperty System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventProperty S
ystem.Diagnostics.Eventing.Reader.EventProperty System.Diagnostics.Eventing.Rea
der.EventProperty
The easiest work around I could think of involved using (and therefore knowing) the property values, and also losing the notation that format-table or format-list would provide:
PS C:\> $events | %{"NEW RECORD - TimeCreated: " + $_.TimeCreated + "; ProviderName: "`
+ $_.ProviderName + "; ID: " + $_.ID + "; Message: " + $_.message}
NEW RECORD - TimeCreated: 09/11/2014 15:58:08; ProviderName: Microsoft-Windows-
Security-Auditing; ID: 4672; Message: Special privileges assigned to new logon.
Subject:
Security ID: S-*-*-**-*********-**********-**********-*****
Account Name: **********
Account Domain: **********
Logon ID: 0x**********
Privileges: SeSecurityPrivilege
Get all Properties
So I've discovered I CAN get ALL the properties, and their names, like this:
PS C:\> $events | %{"NEW RECORD" + ($_.psobject.properties | %{$_.name ; ":" ; $_.value})}
NEW RECORDMessage : Special privileges assigned to new logon.
Subject:
Security ID: S-*-*-**-*********-**********-**********-*****
Account Name: **********
Account Domain: **********
Logon ID: 0x**********
Privileges: SeSecurityPrivilege Id : 4672 Version : 0 Qualifiers :
Level : 0 <and so on>
However, I'm now pulling a bunch of stuff the consumers of my data won't need, since I only need the default properties and their names, plus a self-defined delimiter.
Is anyone aware of a notation that will return all values of all default display properties without said properties needing to be spelled out? Either a generic container for values (eg. $_.properties.value, though I tried that and it didn't work), or something like expand-property only without needing to specify a particular property name?
Resolution - Get only default properties
So it turns out I was overthinking this. FOREACH (%{}) can obviously preserve data from the pipeline across statements, so if I use two statements I can achieve the desired effect:
PS C:\> $events | format-list | %{"NEW RECORD" ; $_}
NEW RECORD
Message : An account was successfully logged on.
<and etc>
I answered this while writing it, the details are above. In order to collect all properties from an object and their values, and include both as part of a string:
PS C:\> $events | %{"NEW RECORD" + ($_.psobject.properties | %{$_.name ; ":IMASTRING:" ; $_.value})}
The above method owes a lot to the answer by Shay Levy to this question.
To include only the default properties and their values, preceded by a string:
PS C:\> $events | format-list | %{"NEW RECORD" ; $_}
To include all properties and their values, preceded by a string but retain the default formatting:
PS C:\> $events | select-object * | format-list | %{"NEW RECORD"; $_}
I think you've done things the easy and maybe best way for your situation. There actually is a way to know the names of the default properties
