This guide here:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

Demonstrates how to configure NSClient++ to execute a script, which is what you want to do.

[azam101]

So you have to install NSClient++ on a windows box which can see the Veeam Backups, and run the powershell scripts against the windows box. This will then report back to nagios server to generate the Alert.

How do I setup the Services in Nagios?
What Command will it need?

Yes - take a look at the instructions @Box293 posted.

In your NSClient++ configuration you will define a specific command, which will execute the powershell script locally.

Then, using Nagios, you will call to that command using check_nrpe, which will call to the machine running NSClient++, and have the powershell script run.
