Check Microsoft Windows Scheduled Tasks

Hello,
This plugin currently checks tasks in C:WindowsSystem32Tasks, but I only wanted to check tasks in sub folder C:WindowsSystem32TasksNagiosTest.

Help is highly appreciated!!

Thanks

Has anyone got this working for Server 2016? Works perfectly on 2012R2. I copied my config from 2012R2 to 2016 and the result is The command (check_ms_win_tasks) returned an invalid return code: 255

---

is there a way this script could be modified to alert when a task does not exist.
Sadly I do not know much about powershell; so I can't figure it out where to add something like that

---

Dear,

I follow these steps but its not working properly

Please help me! Im not able to exec this command. I receive the message below:

"No handler for command: check_scheduletask"

---

Excellent works,
I would like to use this check, but I need to send a warning exit code on running task.
( Sometimes I have the task that doesn't exit at all, like loop, and I would like to receive a warning for that )

---

Hi, sadly I also can´t download the plugin ....

Hello,

is it possible with this check monitor an event log inside the Scheduled Tasks ?

---

Hi great plugin we run it as :
-H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_ms_win_tasks -t 60

Do running tasks still trigger an alert or just ones that fail?

Dear willemdh

I'm not able to download the plugin.
"Error establishing a database connection."
Is the plugin still online?

Thanks you in advance.

I really like this plugin. I made a small mod to allow for overriding the root folder as we group ours in folders based on function, As someone else mentioned its a little easier for alerting in bigger IT organizations.

---

2 things:

First, the multi-line output can be resolved by adding `r`n to the end of your output strings. I did this and added the ability to send an email on critical exit in my copy as I cannot rely on Nagios for notifications in our environment.

Second, graphs don't work with pnp4nagios. Any idea how I can get this working ootb?

Using this to find failed jobs en mass is great. I have 6 MS Windows Job Server systems specifically used for scheduled tasks. This plugin lets me know when something needs to be dealt with.

There is always a 'but...' in there somewhere. sorry.

But... at my site with such a large IT team, I need to test for specific jobs and send alerts to specific people. Instead of just an 'Exclude' capability, can an 'Include' be added? Or maybe the ability to specify individual tasks, or regex includes? This would let me monitor our many job servers and send directed alerts to each of the 10 teams using it.

Thanks.

Thanks for this great script!

Is there any way to exclude scheduled tasks with status Disabled ?

---

The script works great, but I need to run it as Admin. Do I need to give special permissions or disable something?

---

Easy to setup and works a treat!
