You may want to look at this plugin:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... in/details

You could do something like:

cscript.exe //NoLogo check_files.vbs -p D:Logs -f "AgeCreated:>7*60*60*24" -f "RegEx:.*.log$" -w 5 -c 5
Count files in D:Logs, and look only for log (*.log) files that are
created at least 7 days ago, return CRITICAL if more than 5 was found.

If that does not work for you, I suggest taking a look at the following plugins to see if any of them might work: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ile-System

The following may interest you:
share-file-check.sh
check_file_present

I tried this VBS script on the windows machine
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... le/details
and it works, but I'm not sure what I should do next or how i can add it to nagios.

Here is the ticket for you:

http://nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/guides/na ... al_scripts

nsclient documentation really does make it seem harder than it is. Basically you're going to:

• install nsclient++
  copy your vbs to your scripts
  add a line to a section of your nsclient.ini:

Code: Select all

check_something=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\check_something.vbs //someargument

• add a Nagios service that runs the command

Code: Select all

check_nrpe -H mywindowshost -c check_something

That's a wildly simplified version, but should get you going.
