So ziedmahjoub - the actual command required is going to be on the indirect host once you install nsclient++. The difficult part is getting the intermediate host to speak with that host properly, and to compound the problem you're on a version of nsclient that's very poorly documented. I suggest following
Box293's instructions and if they don't help get your 3rd host properly in the mix let us know.

Referring to Box instructions ,
You mean that the script check_disk.bat should be in host C right ?

check_disk is a builtin component of nsclient++
You only need to install nsclient++ on host C then configure proxying on host B as instructed by Box. You could use an external script like check_disk.bat on host C - it's really not necessary though since it's built right into nsclient++
follow?

I added a section to my guide titled "What About Host Ping Checks???".
This has all the steps required to make Host_B ping Host_C.
Let me know if it works as intended.

Correct - let us know how it works.
Also, Box added some notes regarding some bugs in the check_ping.bat script. You MAY want to take a look at them.

Can i put a host definitions with 2 check_command , like this for example :
Code: Select all
define host{
use windows-server ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name ala_pc ; The name we're giving to this host
alias My Windows ; A longer name associated with the host
address 192.168.0.100 ; IP address of the host
check_command indirect_check_ping
check_command indirect_check_disk
}
my check_disk service still
UNKNOWN status like in attachment below

You will use a 'service check' to define any check that is not the host check. Two host checks cannot be defined on one host. You can read further about service checks and how to define them here:

Thanks!
