Yes, that's the logic, if connections over a number, then warning.
We had tried check_connections using check_by_SSH but without success (actually there's an authentication issue when working with Windows Server).

Windows servers do not have SSH. This is not an option when connecting to any windows machine. You will need to use nsclient with check_nt or nrpe for active checks, or nrds\nsca if you wish to do passive checking. However, that plugin provided likely should do what you are looking for.

We just setup NSClient++ on Windows and test from NagiosXI, (./check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x and got "seem to be doing fine"),
what's the next step on NagiosXI using check_connections plugin to monitor Windows Server's established connections? and warn if connections over a number?
Could you describe more details, thanks a lot!

Next, you must add an external command handler to the nsclient's nsc.ini file as the External Scripts section shows here:

What version of NSclient++ did you install?

Now it works, thanks!!
