new to adding plugins/checks

[LinedataIT]

Hi, I admit right up front as the subject says that I am new to adding new plugins and checks.
Specifically, I am looking at this one here:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ss/details

I see the plugin path on the server, but how would I configure a command via the NagiosXI console to use the .vbs? I can run the script locally on my pc, but see nothing in the script that would take an ARG like $HOSTADDRESS$

Thanks in advance for any help.

You will need to install NSClient++ on the windows system, and run through a few more steps to make this plugin callable by Nagios. Lets start by installing NSClient++ please follow this documentation and let us know when you are done:

We do recommend you install version 3.9.x and not one of the newer 4.0 versions as they are a bit more prone to bugs and configuration problems as of right now.

Ok, sorry, I should have mentioned it, but I do have NSClient+ rolled out to my servers.
Whats next?

Do you have the script defined in the NSC.ini (nsclient.ini) file on the Windows box? It depends on the script but in general you may have to have something similar to this under the [External Scripts} section:

Code: Select all

check_foldersize=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\<your_script>.vbs $ARG1$
