Check Available Updates

A plugin used to check for missing updates for Windows. The plugin is a VBScript which is intended to be used by the check_nrpe plugin on the Nagios server and NRPE for Windows or NSClient++ on the Windows side.

You can choose the Nagios return code (CRITICAL, WARNING and OK) depending on the patch that is missing. The updates you can search for are Critical Security Updates (as rated MSRC), Important Security Updates, Moderate Security Updates, Low Security Updates, Critical Updates (non-security related) and Important Updates.

If an update has been installed but the computer needs to reboot the plugin will check if a reboot is required.
