Perform remote troubleshooting and maintenance of Nexthink Collectors on the devices.
Description
Change Collector configuration parameters by using nxtcfg Collector tool, test if Collector CrashGuard is active, reset Collector CrashGuard counter, check last Remote Action performance and gather Collector Reporter files from devices.
Script Get Collector Reporter Files
- Version 1.0.1.0 – Updated documentation
- Version 1.0.0.0 – Initial release
Script Description
Using Collector Reporter, retrieves some useful information and log files from the endpoint to solve Nexthink products related issues, and stores the results in a network shared folder.
Execution context and suggested scheduling
Run the script as local system. The script should be executed manually.
A timeout of 900 seconds is recommended.
Parameters
| ID | Label | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Network Path | Absolute path to the network shared folder where Collector Reporter zip file should be copied. UNC format is required (e.g. \\Server\SharedFolderName) |
| 2 | Maximum Delay In Seconds | Maximum random delay set to avoid server overload. Provide number of seconds less than 600 |
Outputs
| ID | Label | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output Network Path | String | Result output file path, based on input network path |
Further Information
To see a complete list of elements the script gathers, please visit this page.
Collector reporter might take several minutes to gather the information. In addition, the generated file could have a considerable size (+100 MB).
During the process, CPU and network will be heavily utilized therefore execution should be planned considering performance impact to end user, virtual and network infrastructure.

Restrictions
- Script requires Collector minimum version 6.21.
Script Get Last Remote Action Performance
- Version 1.0.1.0 – Added support for Collector 6.21 and new location of log files
- Version 1.0.0.0 – Initial release
Script Description
Retrieves information about the performance of the last remote action executed by the Collector on targeted device.
Execution context and suggested scheduling
Run the script as local system. The script should be executed manually.
A timeout of 120 seconds is recommended.
Parameters
None.
Outputs
| ID | Label | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Last Remote Action Performance | StringList | Last executed remote action performance information (UID, execution date, average CPU, etc.) |
Further Information
Last executed remote action performance information is extracted from Collector log.
Collector debug mode must be enabled to log any remote action performance. There is no need to have Collector debug mode enabled for the execution of this very remote action, which measures the performance for the previous remote action logged.
Use Set Collector Configuration remote action for enabling/disabling Collector debug mode. Please, remember that Collector debug mode is not meant for a normal production operation.
Restrictions
- Any remote action performance is only logged if Collector debug mode is enabled at the moment of its execution.
