I have found a plugin which may accomplish this for you:

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... le/details

To use this you must install the NSClient++ agent on the windows system, and use NRPE to monitor with.

This plugin doesnt want to monitor folder age, so I am trying to make it for to monitor files age but having issues to pass arguments.
Steps I did:
1. uploaded file into Scripts directory
2. allow_arguments=1 and allow_nasty_meta_chars=1
3. in [Script Wrappings]:
vbs=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\lib\wrapperCDbl.vbs %SCRIPT% %ARGS%

4. in [Wrapped Scripts]
check_files=check_MostRecentFile.vbs $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$

now if I run from nagios server: ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.10.120 -p 5666 -c check_files -a c:\temp 1440 2880 100
I'll get: Must enter 4 arguments: directory C W S; i.e. c:\testdir\ 1440 2880 100

From local machine it works.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

try wrapping the -a in quotes

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H 192.168.10.120 -p 5666 -c check_files -a 'c:\temp 1440 2880 100'
