Geneos has a built-in command called sampleNow which can be configured to restart a Toolkit sampler.

You can set up a schedule command:

Below is the xml of a scheduled command that runs the sampleNow command one time on all of the Toolkit samplers on the Gateway during the start and end period:

<scheduledCommand name="Toolkit-sampleNow">
<command>
<internalCommand>
<name>/PLUGIN:sampleNow</name>
</internalCommand>
</command>
<recurrence>
<pattern>
<days>
<everyWeekday></everyWeekday>
</days>
</pattern>
<range>
<start>2023-01-30T13:32:00</start>
<endBy>2023-01-30T14:00:00</endBy>
</range>
</recurrence>
<targets>
<target>/geneos/gateway[(@name=&quot;YourGatewayName&quot;)]/directory/probe/managedEntity/sampler[(param(&quot;PluginName&quot;)=&quot;TOOLKIT&quot;)]</target>
</targets>
</scheduledCommand>

The NetProbe Log file will indicate a sampleNow has been initiated.

2023-01-30 13:32:07.164-0500 INFO: SampleNow invoked from Gateway for netprobe_lsof_sh

The Gateway Log file will also log each executing sampleNow command.
