If it was me, I'd go to a host you want to check, and run the check command with the needed arguments. Once that's working verify the command in the nsclient ini file, then create a service in Nagios to use check_nrpe to run the command. You need the host to run on defined as well.
Personally I use hostgroups to groups similar hosts, and then put those groups in a larger windows hostgroup. I add that hostgroup to the windows services. I also use host and service templates to separate the monitoring info (such as intervals) from the hosts and services. This way I have one service that does a particular check function, not one service per host. Others do things in another way.

You will have to install the check_user plugin on your Nagios host for the command to be available.

The default location for plugins on Nagios is the following.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec

Just copy the plugin to that location on your Nagios host.

Can you please reference exactly what documents or articles you have followed thus far? That way I may be more able to pinpoint where you are getting stuck.

I hope that helps! You may also want to look over this more general Nagios core document about how plugins work.
