[Nagiosplug-help] Help Using Plugins

[Ian Manco]

OK. I checked the website and read the section of the CheckEventLog.dll

It is uncommented from my .ini file which is on my remote windows
server.

I just do not understand how to enable it within nagios. I am able to
edit the windows.cfg file and understand how to add computer, but I am
very unclear on how to get the proper commands to make the services
functional.

Here is an example:
define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               MCCOY
        service_description     Explorer
        check_command           check_nt!PROCSTATE!-d SHOWALL -l
Explorer.exe
}


This service is functional. I just do not understand the check_command.

I read the manual, website but still do not get how to "call" the check
command thus not allowing me to play around with other check commands.

I understand that I am limited using nsclient++ to these dlls?
FileLogger.dll
CheckSystem.dll
CheckDisk.dll
NSClientListener.dll
NRPEListener.dll
SysTray.dll
CheckEventLog.dll
CheckHelpers.dll
;CheckWMI.dll

NSClient++ has nothing to to with Nagios plugins, it's a daemon that
runs on your Windows servers.

Depending on your configuration you may be able to use the check_nrpe
plugin (distributed with NRPE) or the original NSClient check_nt plugin
(deprecated (only for backwards-compatibility), distributed by the
official plugins distribution) to check NSClient++.

Look on the NSClient++ main page (http://nsclient.org/nscp/) for further
documentation. If you'd like assistance please explain in greater
details what you have tried and what isn't working.

Thanks
