Check an IIS Application pool state (Visit this link)

This plugin was tested on a Windows Server 2003 R2 box running IIS v6.
NSclient++ v0.3.5 was used as the Nagios agent on the server.

-- Usage (local machine only) --


check_iis_apppool_state.vbs pool_name
pool_name - The name of the application pool (ex: DefaultAppPool).


It returns:
- OK if state is running.
- CRITICAL if state is stopped.
- WARNING if state is stopping or starting.
- UNKNOWN for all the others (app pool not found, etc...).

-- Nagios Agent configuration (NSC.INI) --

Copy this file into the "scripts" directory of your NSclient++ installation.
Add the following line to your NSC.INI file, section "NRPE_Handlers":


check_iis_apppool_state=cscript.exe //nologo //T:60 scripts\check_iis_apppool_state.vbs $ARG1$


Then restart NSclient++ service.
Create a command in Nagios to execute this.
