Hello, I would like to chek if a specific user is logged on to a windows server.

I have Nagios 5.8.6
I use NCPA client

I have found this topic on Nagios Exchange:
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... er/details
but this plugin seems to be developed to work with NSCLIENT++

How can I make it work with NCPA? or are there any other similar plugin or builtin check on NCPA?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Here is what I came up with, it's rough but works.

Create a file called check_user.ps1 and put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Nagios\NCPA\plugins on the remote Windows machine.

check_user.ps1:

Code: Select all

$exitcode=2
if (((quser) | Out-String).contains($Args[0])) {
  $exitcode=0
}
 
Write-Host("User checked was: " + $Args[0])
#Write-Host($exitcode)
exit $exitcode

In Nagios set it up as shown, with the $ARG1$ shown:
-t 'gjstoken' -P 5693 -M 'plugins/check_user.ps1' -a 'administrator'

Thanks
