Hi Community,
I’m looking for help to create a Nagios monitoring check that verifies the status (started or stopped) of a specific IIS application pool on Windows Server 2016.
I’ve tried several PowerShell-based script solutions, but they don’t seem to work correctly.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,

Re: Create a Nagios monitoring check
Hi @Mititiem,
What do you mean by 'they don't seem to work correctly'? Are they not getting the data you expect or are they not integrating well with XI?
I can't speak much to the specifics of monitoring IIS application pools, but as far as making checks that work well with XI, I recommend reading the documentation for plugin development. It will go into the specifics of what XI expects to see from a check.
Let me know if you have other questions.

What specific PowerShell commands or scripts have you tried for checking the status of the IIS application pool, and what issues did you encounter with them?Mititem wrote: ↑Wed Dec 17, 2025 10:06 pm Hi Community,
