Do you have NSClient++ installed on the client machine already? If not, uou'll want to do so, and then look at the check_files option which can do exactly what you're after. https://docs.nsclient.org/reference/win ... heck_files

Hi,

NSClient++ already installed on the client machine,just i want to fill the Service Management (check commands and command view)

for example in other service check commands/check_nrpe ,command view $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 180 -c $ARG1$ $ARG2$

thanks

Take a look at this link - http://sites.box293.com/nagios/guides/c ... es-folders

Depending on your NSClient++ version, this is the section to look for -

Hi,
Many thanks for info and documents, but I need the command to check the file if the size is 0 send critical if not send normal .

That is covered in the document, see the section: Files Greater Than A Size

Also please note checking if a file exists is a very different requirement that checking if it is > 0 bytes.

I read your the document, my case is the system generate a file if the file didn't write any word it is critical
So what is suitable command to check it

Thanks for help

As noted above by rkennedy, this depends on your NSClient++ version. Please see the section Files Greater Than A Size for example commands by version.

For example, the shown command check_nrpe -H 192.168.142.1 -t 30 -c check_files -a path='C:\\NO BACKUP' pattern=*.* 'filter=size gt 500M' 'critical=count>0' 'detail-syntax=%(filename): %(size)' 'empty-state=ok'

will check 192.168.142.1 "C:\NO BACKUP" for files larger than 500 MB. If such a file is found, a Critical state is raised in Nagios.
