what is the service called if you run the following command from the windows command line?
This is what you would use as the service, not abc.exe

Yes, use the name that you see in the CMD in your command:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H <ip> -s "****" -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l <service name> -d SHOWALL
Keep in mind that if you have spaces and/or special characters in the name, you may need to wrap the name in single quotes.
Examples:
Not working:
Code: Select all
./check_nt -H x.x.x.x -s password -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l Windows Audio -d SHOWALL
Failed to open service Windows: 424: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
Working:
Code: Select all
./check_nt -H x.x.x.x -s password -p 12489 -v SERVICESTATE -l 'Windows Audio' -d SHOWALL
Windows Audio: Started

With NSClient++ you can monitor services and processes. You could use a command as such:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -p 5666 -c check_process -a "process=abc.exe"
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H x.x.x.x -p 5666 -c check_process -a "process=cmd.exe" "warn=count>2" "crit=count>3"
OK: all processes are ok.|'count'=1;2;3
