1413 ## <a id="windows-plugins"></a> Windows Plugins for Icinga 2
1415 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.
1417 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:
1419 include <windows-plugins>
1421 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.
1424 ### <a id="windows-plugins-thresholds"></a> Threshold syntax
1426 So not specified differently the thresholds for the plugins all follow the same pattern
1429 :------------|:----------
1430 "29" | The threshold is 29.
1431 "!29" | The threshold is 29, but the negative of the result is returned.
1432 "[10-40]" | The threshold is a range from (including) 20 to 40, a value inside means the threshold has been exceeded.
1433 "![10-40]" | Same as above, but the result is inverted.

4669 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.
4670 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.
4671 webinject_no_output | **Optional.** Suppresses all output to STDOUT except the results summary.
4672 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.

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.
