@WillemDH did a pretty good write-up of this topic:
https://outsideit.net/monitoring-window ... led-tasks/

You will need to leverage NSClient++ as the agent on the Windows-side of things for this. More on that topic here:

The above documentation won't work for check_nrpe though. This documentation covers enabling the NRPE server on your NSClient++ setup:

Hi ,

As per your given url download powershell script check_ms_win_tasks.ps1 , installed NSClient++ agent in windows server 2008 R2 and configured NRPE settings also .

We configured command for checking schedule tasks

check_ms_win_tasks : $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -t 30 -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$

But we got some error message , please find the attached documents for your reference and give the proper solution for that .I think In our domain scripts are not running so , please provide any plugin for monitoring windows tasks.

Thanks in advance

You will need to change the Powershell settings on the remote machine to allow the script to run. These articles should help:

HI Team,

We have followed below steps enabled the script to run on Remote machine. We could see the Uptime,Tasks,Ping and other services but we could not find the number of task Running,Succeeded,Failure of the Task. When we opened the task column we could not see the number of task Running,Succeeded,Failure for reference please find the attached screenshot1.

Regards,

It looks like you will need to modify the output of the script.

As a test, what's the output of the powershell script when you run it on Windows?

As far as editing the script, if you don't know Powershell, you could write your script in any language you have access to on Windows. Certainly there are community members that may be able to help you modify your script, but as a matter of policy, the support team doesn't write custom scripts.

I looks like the check command that is defined in XI is missing the NRPE command and it is just doing the version check.
Edit the service and add the following to the $ARG1$ field and see if that fixes the issue.

Code: Select all

check_ms_win_tasks

and add this to $ARG2$

Code: Select all

a '-H localhost -IF "\\"'
