For example, in NSClient++, it would be similar to this -

Code: Select all

topcpu = cmd /c echo scripts\powershell\topcpu.ps1; exit(0) | powershell.exe -command -

Then, you'll need to create an event handler to trigger the newly created commands over check_nrpe / check_nt. Once those have been created, assign the event handler to the service that's checking your MEM or CPU. Any time a state change occurs, it will log the data to the corresponding file on the local client machine.

Hi rkennedy,

i have to save the command into ps1 file?

command " date | Out-File "C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\powershell\topcpu.txt" -append
Get-Process | Sort CPU | Select -last 10 | Out-File "C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\powershell\topcpu.txt" -append "

then add into nsclient file? i have tried that but throwing some error.

Also i have powershell script to get process memory usage , can you guide me to get the output to display in nagios :
"get-wmiobject WIN32_PROCESS | Sort-Object -Property ws -Descending|select -first 5|Select processname, @{Name="Mem Usage(MB)";Expression={[math]::round($_.ws / 1mb)/1024}} "

topcpu = cmd /c echo scripts\powershell\topcpu.ps1; exit(0) | powershell.exe -command -

Yes, please save that as C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\powershell\topcpu.ps1

Then, under your external scripts section of NSClient++, add -

Code: Select all

topcpu = cmd /c echo scripts\powershell\topcpu.ps1; exit(0) | powershell.exe -command -

What error are you seeing?

Can you please open a new post for your second request here? I'd like to keep this thread on topic to what has been discussed.
