Call does not wait for script execution to finish

[DgoNascimento]

Hello guys,

I would like some help.

I'm using script_exporter to run a shell script, which runs another powershell script.

Executing the shell script, I have the return successfully, even though the return is not immediate, taking 30s for example.

Even though I configure the scrap time and the timeout time, whenever I execute the curl call from the exporter, the return is immediate and with that it does not return the echo (variable created with the expected value).

Would you have any idea why?

Would it be because of the shell script to run another power shell?

Thank you very much!

@ricoberger could you support?

HI @DgoNascimento, I'm not quite sure what the problem could be. Maybe you can use the following two examples to test if this is timeout related:

scripts:
  - name: showtimeout
    script: sh /bin/examples/showtimeout.sh
    timeout:
      max_timeout: 60
  - name: sleep
    script: sleep 120
    timeout:
      enforced: true

It is also possible that the script doesn't wait for the execution of your other powershell script. Maybe sth. in this direction could help here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1741490/how-to-tell-powershell-to-wait-for-each-command-to-end-before-starting-the-next

Hi @ricoberger Thanks for the feedback.

Behavior is strange:

shell script execution: time ./check_replicationFIN.sh asr_replication_vm{} 13

real 0m23.734s user 0m6.029s sys 0m1.524s

exporter script execution: curl http://127.0.0.1:9469/probe?script=check_replicationFIN

HELP script_success Script exit status (0 = error, 1 = success).

TYPE script_success gauge

script_success{script="check_replicationFIN"} 1

HELP script_duration_seconds Script execution time, in seconds.

TYPE script_duration_seconds gauge

script_duration_seconds{script="check_replicationFIN"} 0.636534

I performed a test with telegraf, and I had the error below. I don't know if you know or if you can help with anything: Sep 06 16:27:50 powershell[8605]: (7.2.6:1:80) [Perftrack_ConsoleStartupStart:PowershellConsoleStartup.WinStart.Informational] PowerShell console is starting up Sep 06 16:27:50 powershell[8605]: (7.2.6:A:80) [NamedPipeIPC_ServerListenerStarted:NamedPipe.Open.Informational] PowerShell has started an IPC listening thread on process: 8605 in AppDomain: None.

Thank you in advance

Hi @DgoNascimento, since it looks like the script runs successfully script_success{script="check_replicationFIN"} 1 and my PowerShell knowledge is very limited I'm not quite sure how I can help here.
