1411 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.
1413 A check-commands-windows.conf comes with Icinga 2, it asumes 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:
1415 include <windows-plugins>
1417 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.
1420 ### <a id="windows-plugins-thresholds"></a> Threshold syntax

1427 "!29" | The threshold is 29, but the negative of the result is returned.
1428 "[10-40]" | The threshold is a range from (including) 20 to 40, a value inside means the threshold has been exceeded.
1429 "![10-40]" | Same as above, but the result is inverted.

4685 This category includes all plugins for web-based checks.
4687 #### <a id="plugin-contrib-command-webinject"></a> webinject
4689 The [check_webinject](https://labs.consol.de/de/nagios/check_webinject/index.html) plugin
4690 uses [WebInject](http://www.webinject.org/manual.html) to test web applications
4691 and web services in an automated fashion.
4692 It can be used to test individual system components that have HTTP interfaces
4693 (JSP, ASP, CGI, PHP, AJAX, Servlets, HTML Forms, XML/SOAP Web Services, REST, etc),
4694 and can be used as a test harness to create a suite of HTTP level automated functional,
4695 acceptance, and regression tests. A test harness allows you to run many test cases
4696 and collect/report your results. WebInject offers real-time results
4697 display and may also be used for monitoring system response times.
4699 Custom attributes passed as [command parameters](3-monitoring-basics.md#command-passing-parameters):
4702 ------------------------|--------------
4703 webinject_config_file | **Optional.** There is a configuration file named 'config.xml' that is used to store configuration settings for your project. You can use this to specify which test case files to run and to set some constants and settings to be used by WebInject.
4704 webinject_output | **Optional.** This option is followed by a directory name or a prefix to prepended to the output files. This is used to specify the location for writing output files (http.log, results.html, and results.xml). If a directory name is supplied (use either an absolute or relative path and make sure to add the trailing slash), all output files are written to this directory. If the trailing slash is ommitted, it is assumed to a prefix and this will be prepended to the output files. You may also use a combination of a directory and prefix.
4705 webinject_no_output | **Optional.** Suppresses all output to STDOUT except the results summary.
4706 webinject_timeout | **Optional.** The value [given in seconds] will be compared to the global time elapsed to run all the tests. If the tests have all been successful, but have taken more time than the 'globaltimeout' value, a warning message is sent back to Icinga.
4707 webinject_report_type | **Optional.** This setting is used to enable output formatting that is compatible for use with specific external programs. The available values you can set this to are: nagios, mrtg, external and standard.
4708 webinject_testcase_file | **Optional.** When you launch WebInject in console mode, you can optionally supply an argument for a testcase file to run. It will look for this file in the directory that webinject.pl resides in. If no filename is passed from the command line, it will look in config.xml for testcasefile declarations. If no files are specified, it will look for a default file named 'testcases.xml' in the current [webinject] directory. If none of these are found, the engine will stop and give you an error.
