Checks if a Windows Service is running.
Check if a Windows process is up and running.
You can also define values to be alerted in case it takes more RAM or CPU than expected

Two parameters are mandatory:

-process name to monitor
-/Replace - The possible values are YES or NO. As some Nagios platforms are not able to handle parameters containing space, it must be replaced by a "". In case this parameters is defined as YES, replace "_" by " " before check the Windows Service

Example:

Check_Proc.vbs "The_Test.exe" /Replace:YES -> It will check for a Windows Service called "The Test.exe"
Check_Proc.vbs "The_Test.exe" /Replace:NO /CPU:10 ->It will check for a Windows Service called "The_Test.exe" and raise a warning in case it takes more than 10% of CPU


It's possible to define warning alert in case the process overpass certain level of CPU or Memory.
To enable this feature, provide the following parameters
-/CPU:Value - Percentage of the CPU
-/Memory:Value - Ammount of maximum memory allocated allowed

please, help me with your Check_Proc plugin

You after putting the script in your NSClient's /scripts directory, you have to adjust your nsclient.ini

You should add a area like this:

[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
check_proc_vbs = cscript.exe //T:120 //NoLogo scripts\Check_Proc.vbs

Then you can use it through Nagios like this:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_nrpe -H %HOSTADDRESS% -p 5666 -4 -c alias_proc_vbs "Explorer.exe"

But i have to add, that i cannot run it as well, it always stats:
Usage: Check_Proc.vbs Service_Name /Replace:Attribute /Cpu:value
Attribute value can be YES or NO. In case yes, it will replace _ by blank space
No matter what parameter i use to check a process.

Greetings

First of all , thank you for this aportacion to nagios exchange.
I have problems with the syntax in the nsclient.ini file-
I work with nagios core 4.0.8 and NSClient++ 0.4.1.73 (2012).
If i write this in nsclient.ini file: "alias_check_proc = cscript.exe /NoLogo Check_Proc.vbs "chrome.exe" /Replace:NO /CPU:10 /Memory:80". nagios core show me this error: "No handler for command: alias_check_proc " (UNKNOWN)
If i write this: "alias_check_proc = Check_Proc.vbs "chrome.exe" /Replace:NO /CPU:10 /Memory:80", nagios show me this: "Check_Proc.vbs not found " (CRITICAL)
If i write this: "alias_check_proc = Check_Proc.vbs "chrome.exe" /Replace:NO /CPU:10 /Memory:80", nagios show me this: "No handler for command: alias_check_proc " (UNKNOWN). And if i write this: "alias_check_proc = Check_Proc.vbs "chrome.exe" //Replace:NO //CPU:10 //Memory:80", nagios show me this: "Error de entrada: Opci?n desconocida "//Replace:NO" especificada. " (WARNING).
thank you so much
