[kjafarov]

Dears, I'm new in nagios. Please help me with creating check for monitoring a batch file. I mean running or no running a batch file in Windows machine, location D:\test.bat.
I need get information, in nagios monitoring system, when batch file is not running.

You could install NCPA and use it to run a script which checks for a process running.

Dear tmcdonald, we use nsclient++. Can you suggest check for nsclient++?

You can use the PROCSTATE var to check a process for state:

Code: Select all

check_nt -H <windows ip> -p 12489 -s <password> -v PROCSTATE -l <process> -d SHOWALL

Dear abrist,

Thank you for code, but there are severeral BAT files, which use cmd.exe process. I need check test.bat not test1.bat, test2.bat.

We had similar problem with Java applications. Our solution was to copy the java.exe to different names, and each batch calls the different executable.
In your case, you can make multiple copy of c:\wdinwos\system32\cmd.exe to eg. cmd2.exe, cmd3.exe.
In your batch file you can execute : "cmd2.exe /c ....." encapsulate your real command. Then you will be able to use Abrist's nagios command.
