    NSClient++ can act as both client and server so yes you can use NSClient++ for that as well...

      Hi Michael,

      I download the lastest version 0.4.0.148. But to do what i want, I dont know how I can do that

      Whow can I launch nscp.exe and ask at a host (which a nscp service sarted) a check cpu, for example checkCPU time=1s. In the documentation I can't read anything on this subject. I don't have parameter to set the target hostname, so can you help me with the right command to do that.

      More over, with the previous version when I ask to nscp the following command: checkCPU time=1s, it's working very well, but with the new version, I have:

      WARNING:ERROR: Could not get data for 1s perhaps we don't collect data this far back?

      Thanks you very much for you help.

        There is some basic info in the 0.4.0 guides...

        Anyways there are a few ways to do this: 

        nscp client --module CheckHelpers --query CheckOK --raw-argument "Hello World"

        Will run the command CheckOK from CheckHelpers Module. The "problem" with CheckCPU is that it requires a polling over time which means you can "start nsclient++ and get the value".

        What you can do is set it up normally to respond to NRPE queries and poll the service via nrpe like so: 

        nscp nrpe --host 127.0.0.1 --exec query --command checkOK --raw-argument "Hello World"

          Hi Michael,

          I begin to know nscp ! But I have two problem yet!

          with the following command nscp nrpe --host 127.0.0.1 --exec query --command checkOK --raw-argument "Hello World"

          I have the following error: \trunk\modules\NRPEClient\NRPEClient.cpp:317 Socket error: handshake: short read

          and in the nsclient.ini I have the following directive settings/NRPE/server allowed hosts = 127.0.0.1,166.99.224.129 what happens

          more over I setted the debug to true in settings/eventlog but nothing appears !

          and which command to call a external script (for example: check_battery in scripts/scripts)

          Thank you Michael

            Clean config (ie. backup/remove nsclient.ini, boot.ini and nsc.ini) and stopped nsclient++: 

            nscp settings --path /modules --key NRPEServer --set 1
nscp settings --path /modules --key CheckHelpers --set 1
nscp settings --path /settings/NRPE/server --key "allowed hosts" --set 127.0.0.1
nscp settings --path /settings/NRPE/server --key "allow arguments" --set true
nscp service --name nscp --install
nscp service --name nscp --start
nscp nrpe --host 127.0.0.1 --exec query --command checkOK "Hello World"
Hello World
nscp service --name nscp --stop

            Adding the battery script script (This can be made simpler using wrapped script, but this includes no magic): 

            nscp settings --path /modules --key CheckExternalScripts --set 1
nscp settings --path "/settings/external scripts" --key "allow arguments" --set true
nscp settings --path "/settings/external scripts/scripts" --key "check_battery" --set "cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\lib\\wrapper.vbs check_battery.vbs %ARGS%"
nscp nrpe --host 127.0.0.1 --exec query --command check_battery
OK: Battery OK - Charge Remaining = 95%|'charge'=95

              Hi Michael,

              Thanks you for your help. it's works very well (I still have problems, when I launch the following command: nscp settings --path /modules --key CheckHelpers --set 1 => Missing phyton27.dll on your computer !) Do you know when do you have time to update the documentation to be up to date with the 4 version ?

              Thanks you.

              Best regards.

                Interesting, you can always disable PythonScript modules, but maybe I need to handle that scenario better...
