Hi,
I'm using nsclient++ and check_nt to monitor services on a whole slew
of Windows boxes.  Works very nicely, but I have to change part of the
system behavior and the plugin doesn't seem to have that option.
When you check a service and the service is not installed, the plugin
returns "unknown".  I need to treat those unknowns as critical.  In
our environment, those errors mean that someone is playing games with
their server.
Any suggestions?  Or should I use a different plugin if I want this
behavior?  I can get this with SNMP easily enough, but nsclient++
seems easiest.
Thanks,
==ml
