I've already all environment working. I've used the check_nt to monitor process, like this:



define service
use generic-service
host_name netserver
contact_groups admins, analysts
service_description DBAccess
check_command check_nt!PROCSTATE!-d SHOWALL -l dbaccess.exe



This work. But now i need to monitor varios process that are the same .exe but have different parameters.



Like this:



appserver.exe -pf instance1.ini
appserver.exe -pf instance2.ini
appserver.exe -pf test.ini



How can i make it work? I can't figure how to use it with check_nt



Thanks

          In your question, you haven't pointed out what do you want to monitor, I assume you want to check the process status. If the process is not running, NSClient++ will send notification to Nagios via NRPE.



          Let's assume you are using NSClient++ for your windows monitoring with Nagios.


          First, you need to define appropriate alias under nsclient.ini in your windows machine (by default: C:program filesNSClient++nsclient.ini)



          alias_check_appserver = check_process "process=appserver.exe -pf $ARG1$" "crit=state != 'started'"


          Then you can define the service by simply changing the following line accordingly under your Nagios server:



          For instance1:



          define service
          use generic-service
          host_name netserver
          contact_groups admins, analysts
          service_description DBAccess
          check_command check_nrpe!alias_check_appserver -a "instance1.ini"



          It should do the tricks.

          • Thanks for your reply. My nsclient.ini uses checkProcState like it: alias_process = checkProcState "$ARG1$=started" Is the same?

          • I would suggest you to use check_process as the checkProcState is a legacy version of check_process, you can have more detail: NSClient Reference
