Check WMI Plus is a client-less Nagios plugin for checking Windows systems.
No more need to install any software on any of your Windows machines. Monitor Microsoft Windows systems directly from your Nagios server.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Check WMI Plus uses the Windows Management Interface (WMI) to check for common services (cpu, disk, sevices, eventlog…) on Windows machines. It requires the open source wmi client for Linux.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Besides the built in checks, Check WMI Plus functionality can be easily extended through the use of an ini file. Check WMI Plus comes with a release version of the ini file, but you are free to add your own checks to your own ini file.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the future I plan to add more functionality along the lines of what NSClient++ can do – but with the advantage of being client-less. There will always be some things that NSClient++ can do and some things it can do better since it executes directly on the checked host, but check_wmi_plus is far simpler and has the major advantage of not requiring any software installations on any Windows machines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Monitor Windows Server 2000, 2003, 2008 and 2012, Windows XP, Windows 7 & 10, Windows Vista etc, both 32 and 64 bit versions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Can also monitor the following applications in great detail: Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft IIS, Server, Windows Terminal Services.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Overall there are about 80 different checks (most with performance data) it can perform against your Windows servers.
Here is a list of some of the checks it can do:
Built-in checks:<\/strong>
checkcpu, checkcpuq, checkdrivesize, checkeventlog, checkfileage, checkfilesize, checkfoldersize, checkmem, checknetwork, checkprocess, checkservice, checkshare, checksmart, checkstartupcommand, checktime, checkuptime, checkuseraccount, checkvolsize, checkwsusserver
Checks via the ini file configuration:<\/strong>
checkad, checkiis, checkts (terminal services), checkio, checkproc (additional process checks), checkeachcpu, checkdhcp, checkdns, checkprint, checkpower, checkexchange, checksql, checkfolderfileage, info
Checks using the Pro version:
<\/strong>checkgroup, checkgroupuser, checklogon, checkprintjob, checkquota, checkshare, checkstartupcommand,\u00a0 checkuseraccount, checkprint (status)<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
