<br>
</div>OK.<br>
<br>
$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u -c CheckServiceState -a<br>
ShowAll "$ARG1$"="$ARG2$"<br>
<br>
Then, in your Nagios service command definition, call that command<br>
with two arguments:<br>
<br>
1) The service name from the Windows services snap-in<br>
2) started or stopped, according to what state you want the service<br>
to be in during normal operation<br>

<br>
</div>On our Windows systems, we monitor a basic set of standard services:<br>
<br>
* Disk volume space<br>
* CPU utilization<br>
* Memory utilization<br>
* My NSClient++ version<br>
* My NSClient++ configuration version<br>
* My plugins version<br>
* Windows version (for informational purposes only)<br>
