Dennis, Your almost there, you need to set your vbs script to output an exit code of 0-4 according to the nagios plug in documentation (http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#PLUGOUTPUT) . Then setup the nsclient to run your script as a plug in check. To do that you will need to follow these basic steps. 1. add the configuration to the nsc.ini file on each xp workstation you want to run this check on. It should look something like this: [NRPE Handlers] webpage_check=c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe //nologo "c:\program files\nsclient++\scripts\web_page_check.vbs" 2. Setup check in Nagios In your commands definition file: define command { command_name webpage_check command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 60 -c webpage_check } In your services definition file: define service { host_name XPhost01, XPhost02 service_description check web page on XP host display_name webpage check check_command webpage_check use service-template ..... } That should do it, and it uses your existing script (i.e. no rework). Good luck, hope that helps, -greg

These clients are public self-service computers to make bookings for a railway organisation. Every now and then, some of these self-service computers show a blank screen without the default start-page. I would like to check if the page is shown up and if it's not, it notifies Nagios which notifies me by email. I've tried to run an external script (vbs) which checks the availability of the site and that goes well if you use it manually but i dont want any popups saying: "OK". It should run in the background. So i've edited the vbs file and now it does check it and doesnt give any output anymore. Has anyone else tried something like this before? I use NSClient++ and Nagios v3.0.6. Kind Regards, Dennis de Vries.
