Some sample Nagios Service definitions that access the majority of the check_wmi_plus features.
\nThis is a straight cut and paste from my own Nagios configuration.
\nThere are 2 main parts
\n1) General Windows checks that should run against most Windows machines
\n2) Checks that are more dependent on the applications installed or the server roles configured<\/p>\n

Note: The check for “Services – Print Spooler” includes an example use of the generic event handler script to restart the service. It uses the command “event_restart_win_service” which is defined at the bottom of this page<\/a>.<\/cite><\/p>\n
