Got it working on Windows Server with a few changes
by rgenergy, January 31, 2014

Got this plugin working on our Windows Server 2008 R2 with 3ware LSI 9750-4i, NSClient++, Strawberry Perl, and tw_cli.exe. 1. Install/save tw_cli.exe to C:CLI 2. Save check_3ware-raid.pl to C:CLI 3. Open check_3ware-raid.pl with notepad 4. Change: my $tw_cli_path = '/usr/sbin/tw_cli'; to: my $tw_cli_path = 'C:CLItw_cli.exe'; 5. Install strawberry perl on Windows. 6. Install NSCLient++ on Windows. 7. Go to the NSCLient++ installion directory (C:\NSCLient++). On nsclient.ini change/add the following: CheckExternalScripts = 1 [CheckExternalScripts] allow arguments=1 [/settings/external scripts/scripts] check_3ware=C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe C:\CLI\check_3ware-raid.pl 8. Restart NSClient. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. On your nagios server in the command.cfg add the following: # Ex. /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.0.42.28 -c check_3ware define command{ command_name check_3ware command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_3ware } 10. Add the following to your server.cfg file # Check Windows2k8 3ware RAID # /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.0.42.28 -c check_3ware define service{ use generic-service host_name Windows2k8 service_description 3ware RAID check_command check_3ware }
