More check_wmic checks?

Hello,

 

The situation is as following:
I have Nagwin installed on a server,
and so far I'm monitoring +30 windows hosts with check_wmic.exe.

 

The page www.itefix.net/i2/content/nagwin-usage-example-3-agentless-wmi-monitorin...
lists 7 possible check commands, but is it possible to create more checks?

 

If I use wmic /? on a host, I see a lot more possible checks,
but I have been unsuccesful adding them in Nagwin.
If I define a command+service myself, I get to see "OK - 0" and that's it.

 

More specific, I would like to be able to monitor/check the following:

  • Monitor a single specific service, eg. VNC
  • Get the OS installed on that host?
  • Installed Service pack?
  • More info on drivespace, like "30GB, 10GB Free, 66% in use"

I also noticed that warning and critical flags don't work correctly on drives.

 

I'll keep digging.
Harm.

I came up with a check for a single service:

 

commands.cfg entry:

# 'wmic_non_running_service' command definition
define command{
    command_name wmic_non_running_service
    command_line $USER1$/check_wmic --H $HOSTADDRESS$ --alias "Service where (Caption='$ARG1$' And State!='Running')" --property Name --count --format "%d services not running." $ARG2$
}

 

host.cfg entry:

define service{
    use                generic-service
    host_name            host-200
    service_description    Audioservice
    check_command        wmic_non_running_service!Audio Service!--crit 0
}

 

It's not perfect (counts 0 or 1 services), but it works.

Found a way to get the

Found a way to get the detailed system info from SNMP,
with the snmpget command that comes with Net-SNMP.

Command:
# SNMPGet Command
define command{
    command_name snmpget
    command_line snmpget -OqvU -v 2c -c public -t2 -r0 $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

Service:
define service{
    use                    generic-service
    host_name                hostname
    service_description        System Description
    check_command            snmpget!1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
}

Note: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 can be changed some other value you would like to monitor.
