check_print_spooler

This plugin should be located in $NSCLIENT_HOME/scripts (your nsclient path) called with nrpe via NSclient++ and supports Hostname as Argument (NSclient should be run with a domain user, to support spooler checking over multiple hosts!).

To make it clear:

[NAGIOS] -> check_nrpe -> [HOP HOST with NSCLIENT] -> check_print_spooler -> [PRINT SERVER (this might be the hop host itself)]



Sample commands.cfg:

# Argument 1 should be your hop windows host, your service must stick to host / hostgroup which you want to check
define command {
command_name check_windows_print_spooler
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $ARG1$ -c check_print_spooler -a $HOSTADDRESS$
}

Or as a "local" check
define command {
command_name check_windows_print_spooler
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_print_spooler -a "."
}
