Can we monitor Task scheduler in Nagios? If yes, how?

We have few jobs to monitor for their status.

Thanks,

I assume you're referring to the Windows Task Scheduler?

Here's an excellent write-up by @WillemDH on how he did that with NSClient++ and check_nrpe:
https://outsideit.net/monitoring-window ... led-tasks/

If you're not sure how to setup NSClient++ to accept check_nrpe requests, here's some documentation for that:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ient++.pdf
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

If you encounter errors with any of the documentation or find something confusing, please let us know exactly where the problem is with as much detail as possible (error messages, versions of agents/scripts used, etc).

Thank You for your response. Yes It is for Windows Scheduler.
It looks like Willem have written his own plugin for his use.

Do we have any plugin available from Nagios to use for Windows scheduler task monitoring.

Thanks

I do not believe so.

Frankly, I've used quite a few of @WillemDH's plugins in lieu of writing my own. As far as community contributors go, he's definitely "one of the good ones" and has received official recognition.
