Nagios Support Forum

I am trying to see how much data I currently have for a particular application. There is a registry key that tells me the extent of the data. So for key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\Epg the endTime value, shows 2016-08-21T17:00:00-05:00.

This basically tells me that it has TV Guide data thru 8/21/2016.

And obviously this value will change daily/hourly. I want to be able to query this registry value and return if the current date, and the date in the endTime value are 8 days apart, and if so warn, and if 3 days apart go critical. Any idea how to accomplish this?

Saw a plugin to query the registry but it expected status values for warning and critical.

Thanks.

Thanks, I downloaded the McAfee one and tweaked that. Working like a charm.

Awesome! Is it alright if we lock this thread and mark the issue as resolved?

Yep, close away!!
