Setup Passive checks pull time interval

[nagwindmon]

hello,
How do I go about to have NSClient execute my Plugin at certain time intervals?
I was able to test it by running "nscp test" once I add the following line [/settings/external scripts/scripts] along with my plugin name and path in nsclient.ini file.
But question is how to set up that NSClient execute my plugin at predefine times and submit Passive checks into Nagios?
Please advise.
What this plugin does on host is connecting to Win service I have build which in turn check on to make sure certain processes are up and running.

Thanks!

This will need to be done with the NSCA module in NSClient++.

I have a guide here that shows how to do the NSClient++ stuff:

And you'll need to do this on your Nagios XI server:

Does this make sense?

Yes it did, Thanks for the link Box!
I have configured NSCA server, port 5667 is open, created Passive Service, modified ini file and restarted NSClient.
Everything works based on your example, checking on CPU Load, but adding my own plugin will not work, do I need to have it as alias, what is proper syntax to get it work for passives checks as well?

[/settings/scheduler/schedules]
CPU Load = checkCPU warn=80 crit=90 time=5m time=1m time=30s
Custom Plugin ="C:\NagiosPlugins\NagiosPlugin.exe"

For testing purposes I have added it as external and use NRPE to test successfully:
[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
Custom Plugin ="C:\NagiosPlugins\NagiosPlugin.exe"

But I need to have it in Passive check mode just like with CPU Load.

Can you show us the actual check run from the command line along with the output of it?
