Check Windows Time Offset (check_windows_time.bat)

Hi all,

This script works great but i can not see check_time on nagios server when i open the gui, i should be able to see it as listed services. I can only see modules like checkdisk, currentload, check, checkservice, checkprocess etc these are all listed under modules and set to 1 in nsclient.ini file. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
BR,

To allow arguments from Windows, add this section above the definition in nsclient.ini:


[/settings/external scripts]
allow arguments = 1

I am a Noob and here is my instructions for getting it to work.

This will hard code the arguments ( I am still trying to figure out why I get errors passing arguments )

Tested on NSClient++ 0.4.1.101

on client machine
1. Open
C:Program FilesNSClient++nsclient.ini

add to the bottom:

[/settings/external scripts/wrapped scripts]

; check_windows_time -
check_windows_time = check_windows_time.bat pool.ntp.org 30 10

2. Copy check_windows_time.bat to
C:Program FilesNSClient++scripts

3. Restart NSClient++ service

4. open command prompt
Navigate to script folder
Check with this command(check_windows_time.bat pool.ntp.org 30 10)

C:Program FilesNSClient++scripts>check_windows_time.bat pool.ntp.org 30 10

You should see

C:Program FilesNSClient++scripts>check_windows_time.bat pool.ntp.org 30 10
OK: Time is -00.0274625s from pool.ntp.org|'Offset'=00s;30;10;0

On Nagios server

1. Go to Nagios server and setup the check without arguments ( they are hard coded in the nsclient.ini file on client machine ).

$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -c check_windows_time


To test from nagios server in Putty

cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec
./check_nrpe -H YOUR_SERVER_TO_CHECK -c check_windows_time

You should see

OK: Time is -00.1961396s from ralpdc01|'Offset'=0s;30;10;0

I hope this helps

If anyone has the Noob steps to allow arguments to be passed from Nagios server to client that could be added to this it would be great if you shared it.

Thanks.

I made the following change to no longer be rounding the numbers a point lower to 1.
Do not round numbers

for /f "tokens=*" %%t in ('w32tm /stripchart /computer:%time_server% /samples:1 /dataonly') do set output=%%t

if not "x%output:0x80072af9=%"=="x%output%" goto host_error
if not "x%output:0x800705B4=%"=="x%output%" goto comm_error
if not "x%output:error=%"=="x%output%" goto unknown_error
if not "x%output:)=%"=="x%output%" goto unknown_error

set time_org=%output:*, =%
set time=%time_org%
rem set time=%time_org:~1,-9%

Thank you, worked perfectly!

Excellent ! Add check windows version, tested ont w2k, w2003, 2008, 7 (not in xp)

for /f "tokens=2 delims=[]" %%x in ('ver') do set cmdver=%%x
set cmdver=%cmdver:Version =%
for /f "tokens=1,2,3* delims=." %%g in ("%cmdver%") do (
set major=%%g
set minor=%%h
set build=%%i
)

rem Windows 3.1,95,95 OSR2,NT 4.0,98,98 SE,ME
IF %major% LEQ 4 goto ver_false
rem Windows 2000
echo %cmdver% | FINDSTR /C:"5.0" > nul
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 goto ver_false

:ver_false
echo UNKNOWN: OS Version not supported [%cmdver%]
exit /b 3

This was very useful, only one note that I have to do:
NSC.INI
I have to enable:
; Script to check external scripts and/or internal aliases.
CheckExternalScripts.dll

Works for me ! Thanks !
