Misc Windows checks for Nagios

I just today saw a page with good ideas for check for a Windows/Exchange/SQL Server. This is the original link if you are interested nagioswiki.com. Please pay attention when copy pasting it to your config files as you may have problems copy/past of the “ sign.

Insert the following into you commands.cfg or define them with the Commands menu in Monarch:

Juergen Vigna

NetEye Solution Architect at Würth Phoenix

I have over 20 years of experience in the IT branch. After first experiences in the field of software development for public transport companies, I finally decided to join the young and growing team of Würth Phoenix. Initially, I was responsible for the internal Linux/Unix infrastructure and the management of CVS software. Afterwards, my main challenge was to establish the meanwhile well-known IT System Management Solution WÜRTHPHOENIX NetEye. As a Product Manager I started building NetEye from scratch, analyzing existing open source models, extending and finally joining them into one single powerful solution. After that, my job turned into a passion: Constant developments, customer installations and support became a matter of personal. Today I use my knowledge as a NetEye Senior Consultant as well as NetEye Solution Architect at Würth Phoenix.
