VMWare Services and Processes check

Hey Guys,
we are using the check_esx3 vmware plugin to monitor our virtual machines. Now we see Memory, Network, CPU ...
Is there any possibility to monitor some processes or services of the virtual machines, like "spoolsv.exe"?

You can monitor the services, for example:
Code: Select all
[root@testbox libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "x.x.x.x" -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/x.x.x.x_auth.txt" -l "SERVICE"
ESX3 OK - services : DCUI (up), TSM (down), TSM-SSH (up), lbtd (up), lsassd (down), lwiod (down), netlogond (down), ntpd (up), sfcbd-watchdog (up), vpxa (up)
If you need to specify a single service, you can use a sub-command:
Code: Select all
[root@testbox libexec]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_esx3.pl -H "x.x.x.x" -f "/usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/vmware/x.x.x.x_auth.txt" -l "SERVICE" -s ntpd
ESX3 OK - All services are in their apropriate state.

Thank you, but thats not what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for a function, like this one:
Is there any possibility to monitor Services and Processes for a virtual Windows Server by using the VMWare-Plugin?

The VMWare plugin doesn't have the capability to monitor services on a Windows Host.
You would have to use the Windows Server monitoring wizard to do that.
