Fwd: How to monitor specific windows services using nsclient++

[Claudio Kuenzler]

Well this is exactly what you need, you already wrote it. Just replace the
Servicename by the service you want to check, eg lanmanserver:

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               winserver
        service_description     Server Services
        check_command           check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l lanmanserver
        }


or for several services at the same time:

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               winserver
        service_description     Server Services
        check_command           check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l
lanmanserver, dnsserver
        }
