Hello.
I'm searching two plugins.

1. A plugin that check whether the ntp setting is done or not.
The expected return value is 'yes' or 'no'.
(I don't mean the check_ntp_time plugin.)

2. A plugin that collect the list of folders shared in a window server.

Please let me know~~
Thank you.

Are you talking Windows, Linux, OSX, etc.?
1. A plugin that check whether the ntp setting is done or not.

If you need to know if the ntpd service is running, this could be done many different ways, depending on what agent you install. If this is not what you need, I would recommend browsing through the Nagios Exchange to see if you can find a plugin that fits your needs.

2. A plugin that collect the list of folders shared in a window server.
You could use a custom script that does that and call it with NSClient++ or NCPA. Also, there may be a plugin that will do the job for you on the Exchange. Here's a couple I found:

You will need to test it from the command line. If it works fine, you can create a command and a check in XI. See how you can manage plugins in Nagios XI here:
