Thanks in advance

Hi,
which version of agent you use? If 2.0.0 the path for the plugin is wrong. You need to place the plugin to “c:\programdata\checkmk\agent\plugins” and try again.
Cheers,
Christian

Hello,
first I was using the old 1.6 agent, but after that, I suspected that I need a new version of the agent so I upgrade it to use the new agent from 2.08 and I copy the plugin to c:/programdata/… path but without success. Also, I enable the following paths in check_mk.yml (and copy plugin over there) and restart services but also without success.
$CUSTOM_PLUGINS_PATH$ → is ProgramData/checkmk/agent/plugins
$BUILTIN_PLUGINS_PATH$ → is Program Files(x86)/checkmk/service/plugins
$CUSTOM_AGENT_PATH$ → is ProgramData/checkmk/agent/
$CUSTOM_LOCAL_PATH$ → is ProgramData/checkmk/agent/local

Hey ninoslav.rajkovic
which language is set on the server?
This plugin seems to work only on English servers.
It uses the performance indicators api and these are set to the installed server language.
My server is German and when I run the plugin by hand it does not work either. As soon as I make the request in German then it works.
But unfortunately I have then in Checkmk a parsing problem :frowning:

Hello Ninoslav,

i used the following powershell script, which seems to be language independend:

check_iis.ps1 by Juan Granados

I will auto restart the stopped pools etc. , the output is nagios-like, but it is easy to change to fit the checkmk style. the checkmk style described in https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/localchecks.html#dynamic_state

My output looks like this:

P WebsitesRunning WebsitesRunning=1;1:2;1:2;0;1
P AppPoolsRunning AppPoolsRunning=42;42:43;42:43;0;42
