Hello guys,
I am wondering if there is a way to graph a windows service (sql service, iis). The services i am watched only say "started" and when i go the performance graph nothing show up.

This depends on what the plugin returns. Some return performance data and some do not.

As I suspected. SERVICESTATE doesn't return performance data.
It would be possible, but you would have to write some kind of wrapper plugin

Writing custom wrapper plugins really isn't what the Nagios XI support is for, however it would look something like this
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
LINE=`/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt $*`
RC=$?
echo $LINE \| state=$RC
exit $RC
name it something unique like check_nt_wrapper upload the plugin ( Admin -> Manage Plugins )
add a new command to Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Commands like this
Code: Select all
Command* check_nt_wrapper
Command line* $USER1$/check_nt_wrapper -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s "$ARG1$" -p 12489 -v $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$
Then change the service command from
check_xi_service_nsclient
to
check_nt_wrapper
