Once they all are, you need to restart the NSClient{++ service.

If this still doesn't work, can you attach the nsclient.ini from this windows machine so we can take a look?

Thanks.

I always restart nsclient service after the changes.

here is my nsclient

Code: Select all

# If you want to fill this file with all available options run the following command:
#   nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all
# If you want to activate a module and bring in all its options use:
#   nscp settings --activate-module <MODULE NAME> --add-defaults
# For details run: nscp settings --help

Try replacing with the following:

Code: Select all

# If you want to fill this file with all available options run the following command:
#   nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all

Then restart NSClient++ service

lpereira · Post by **lpereira** » Tue Oct 03, 2017 2:46 pm

Great, now is working. How can i check multiple folders now?

scottwilkerson · Post by **scottwilkerson** » Tue Oct 03, 2017 3:40 pm

you would just add a different directory in the command

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H SERVERIP -c check_foldersize -a "F:\System Volume Information" -n

or

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H SERVERIP -c check_foldersize -a "C:\TEMP" -n

Creating a service for each directory you want to monitor

lpereira · Post by **lpereira** » Tue Oct 03, 2017 3:42 pm

I'll test and confirm.

Thanks!
