Hello,

In order to check if a Windows instance is up and running, we usually rely on winrm calls. You can use the powershell's PSSession to initiate one or pywinrm from a *nix client.

Thank you, Adrian Vladu

nice to "see" you active again @maestropandy. From my experience, there are other tools for this job, like mist.io. They have several open source projects on this, you can check them here: https://github.com/mistio

Hi Parth,

Nova doesn't take the pause/suspended state into account when returning a value for the "uptime" diagnostics value:

If you want to calculate uptime, note down server creation time from metadata and calculate the difference after change state.

Thanks Pandiyan.
