9 * [CheckCommand definitions for Icinga 2](10-icinga-template-library.md#itl-check-commands) (this includes [icinga](10-icinga-template-library.md#itl-icinga),
10 [cluster](10-icinga-template-library.md#itl-icinga-cluster), [cluster-zone](10-icinga-template-library.md#itl-icinga-cluster-zone), [ido](10-icinga-template-library.md#itl-icinga-ido), etc.)
11 * [CheckCommand definitions for Monitoring Plugins](10-icinga-template-library.md#plugin-check-commands-monitoring-plugins)

1489 ## Windows Plugins for Icinga 2 <a id="windows-plugins"></a>
1491 To allow a basic monitoring of Windows clients Icinga 2 comes with a set of Windows only plugins. While trying to mirror the functionalities of their linux cousins from the monitoring-plugins package, the differences between Windows and Linux are too big to be able use the same CheckCommands for both systems.
1493 A check-commands-windows.conf comes with Icinga 2, it assumes that the Windows Plugins are installed in the PluginDir set in your constants.conf. To enable them the following include directive is needed in you icinga2.conf:
1495 include <windows-plugins>
1497 One of the differences between the Windows plugins and their linux counterparts is that they consistently do not require thresholds to run, functioning like dummies without.
1500 ### Threshold syntax <a id="windows-plugins-thresholds"></a>
1502 So not specified differently the thresholds for the plugins all follow the same pattern
1505 :------------|:----------
1506 "29" | The threshold is 29.
1507 "!29" | The threshold is 29, but the negative of the result is returned.
1508 "[10-40]" | The threshold is a range from (including) 10 to 40, a value inside means the threshold has been exceeded.
1509 "![10-40]" | Same as above, but the result is inverted.

1639 :-------------------------|:------------
1640 service\_win\_warn | **Optional**. Warn when service is not running.
1641 service\_win\_description | **Optional**. If this is set, `service\_win\_service` looks at the service description.

1674 update\_win\_crit | **Optional**. The critical threshold.

1676 ignore\_reboot | **Optional**. Set to disable behavior of returning critical if any updates require a reboot.
1679 If a warning threshold is set but not a critical threshold, the critical threshold will be set to one greater than the set warning threshold.
1680 Unless the `ignore_reboot` flag is set, if any updates require a reboot the plugin will return critical.
1684 > If they are enabled, performance data will be shown in the web interface.
1685 > If run without the optional parameters, the plugin will output critical if any important updates are available.
1688 ### uptime-windows <a id="windows-plugins-uptime-windows"></a>

1714 ## Plugin Check Commands for NSClient++ <a id="nscp-plugin-check-commands"></a>
1716 There are two methods available for querying NSClient++:
1718 * Query the [HTTP API](06-distributed-monitoring.md#distributed-monitoring-windows-nscp-check-api) locally from an Icinga 2 client (requires a running NSClient++ service)
1719 * Run a [local CLI check](10-icinga-template-library.md#nscp-check-local) (does not require NSClient++ as a service)
1721 Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. One thing to
1722 note: If you rely on performance counter delta calculations such as
1723 CPU utilization, please use the HTTP API instead of the CLI sample call.
1725 For security reasons, it is advised to enable the NSClient++ HTTP API for local
1726 connection from the Icinga 2 client only. Remote connections to the HTTP API
1727 are not recommended with using the legacy HTTP API.
1729 ### nscp_api <a id="nscp-check-api"></a>
1731 `check_nscp_api` is part of the Icinga 2 plugins. This plugin is available for
1732 both, Windows and Linux/Unix.
1734 Verify that the ITL CheckCommand is included in the [icinga2.conf](04-configuration.md#icinga2-conf) configuration file:
1736 vim /etc/icinga2/icinga2.conf
1740 `check_nscp_api` runs queries against the NSClient++ API. Therefore NSClient++ needs to have
1741 the `webserver` module enabled, configured and loaded.
1743 You can install the webserver using the following CLI commands:
1745 ./nscp.exe web install
1746 ./nscp.exe web password — –set icinga
1748 Now you can define specific [queries](https://docs.nsclient.org/reference/check/CheckHelpers.html#queries)
1749 and integrate them into Icinga 2.
1751 The check plugin `check_nscp_api` can be integrated with the `nscp_api` CheckCommand object:
1756 :----------------------|:----------------------
1757 nscp\_api\_host | **Required**. NSCP API host address. Defaults to "$address$" if the host's `address` attribute is set, "$address6$" otherwise.
1758 nscp\_api\_port | **Optional**. NSCP API port. Defaults to `8443`.
1759 nscp\_api\_password | **Required**. NSCP API password. Please check the NSCP documentation for setup details.
1760 nscp\_api\_query | **Required**. NSCP API query endpoint. Refer to the NSCP documentation for possible values.
1761 nscp\_api\_arguments | **Optional**. NSCP API arguments dictionary either as single strings or key-value pairs using `=`. Refer to the NSCP documentation.
1763 `nscp_api_arguments` can be used to pass required thresholds to the executed check. The example below
1764 checks the CPU utilization and specifies warning and critical thresholds.
1767 check_nscp_api --host 10.0.10.148 --password icinga --query check_cpu --arguments show-all warning='load>40' critical='load>30'
1768 check_cpu CRITICAL: critical(5m: 48%, 1m: 36%), 5s: 0% | 'total 5m'=48%;40;30 'total 1m'=36%;40;30 'total 5s'=0%;40;30
1772 ### nscp-local <a id="nscp-check-local"></a>
1774 Icinga 2 can use the `nscp client` command to run arbitrary NSClient++ checks locally on the client.
1776 You can enable these check commands by adding the following the include directive in your
1777 [icinga2.conf](04-configuration.md#icinga2-conf) configuration file:
1781 You can also optionally specify an alternative installation directory for NSClient++ by adding
1782 the NscpPath constant in your [constants.conf](04-configuration.md#constants-conf) configuration

1938 commands provided by the [SNMP Manubulon project](http://nagios.manubulon.com/index_snmp.html).
1940 **Note:** Some plugin parameters are only available in Debian packages or in a
1941 [forked repository](https://github.com/dnsmichi/manubulon-snmp) with patches applied.
1943 The SNMP manubulon plugin check commands assume that the global constant named `ManubulonPluginDir`
1944 is set to the path where the Manubublon SNMP plugins are installed.
1946 You can enable these plugin check commands by adding the following the include directive in your

2599 You can either set or omit `hpasm_hostname` custom variable and select the corresponding node.
2601 The `hpasm_remote` attribute enables the plugin to execute remote SNMP queries if set to `true`.
2602 For compatibility reasons this attribute uses `true` as default value, and ensures that
2603 specifying the `hpasm_hostname` always enables remote checks.
