Hi,
Hope you are having a good day!!
Since you do have NSClient++ installed on that "local" url machine, looks like your only choice is to write your own PS1 script, let call it "
check_localurl.ps1".
put that under:
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts\
Now, edit the "nsclient.ini" by follow the step in the URL below:
https://docs.nsclient.org/howto/external_scripts/
You can use "chek_nrpe" to calls "check_localurl.ps1":
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -2 -H x.x.x.x -c check_localurl
Best Regards,
Vinh

I have set the PS script as:
Code: Select all
((Invoke-WebRequest http://server.local:51011/api/status -UseBasicParsing).Content |ConvertFrom-Json).status
Output: Started
At nsclient.ini, under [/settings/external scripts/scripts]:
Code: Select all
ssm_output_ps1 = cmd /c echo scripts\SSMoutput.ps1; exit($lastexitcode) | powershell.exe -command -
On NagiosXI, I get this output:
Capture.JPG
Now, this is good. However, what happens when the status changes to '
Stopped'. How do I ensure Nagios changes to CRITICAL when the status is anything other than '
Started'?
This is what I see at NagiosXI

Hi,
How are you doing?
Instead of a command line (like what you did), please put that into a PowerShell script.
I am NOT a PowerShell programmer, but here's my thought:
Code: Select all
$a1 = ((Invoke-WebRequest http://server.local:51011/api/status -UseBasicParsing).Content |ConvertFrom-Json).status
if ($a1 -eq "Started") { exit 0 }
else { exit 2 }
Exit Status:
0 = OK
1 = Warning
2 = Critical
Best Regards,
Vinh

Made it!
You are correct to input the exit code and that did the trick. For exit 2, Nagios turns CRITICAL. For exit 0, Nagios turns OK.
Thank you very much.
