Information about license status ( Win Srv 2008 )

Hi,

Can you tell me if it is possible to pull somehow in Nagios the information about time remaining ? ( like as below image )

You can get that line from running the following

Code: Select all

cscript //NoLogo c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dli|find "Time Remaining"

You can create a command with that line in NSClient++ to return the data to Nagios.

This isn't going to do any checking on if it is expired, you would have to write a file script to parse that data if you wanted to do that.

So,

I created the command in NSClient++ file. There are two more commands functioning correctly.

The script should return "Licensed" but it returns "Error: product key not found."

Can you post the output of running this from the windows command line

Code: Select all

cscript //NoLogo c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dli

and

Code: Select all

cscript //NoLogo c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dli|find "Time Remaining"

No output for last command.

Code: Select all

cscript //NoLogo c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dli|find "Time Remaining"

I tried below command :

Code: Select all

cscript //NoLogo c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dli|find "License Status"

which returns

Nagios output is "Unrecognized option: -dli ".

Ok, we did some work on this for you and here is what we came up with:

Create a file license.bat in C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts with the following contents

Code: Select all

@echo off
cscript //NoLogo c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dli | find "Time Remaining"

Change your NSC.ini to be

Code: Select all

check_license=scripts\license.bat

restart NSClient++ service

It is OK now.

Thank you !

Awesome.

Glad you got it working.
