Windows_updates.vbs plugin makes the agent crash

Hello Andreas,

Thanks for your reply.

If I use this plugin then the scan / all other checks become heavyly delayed, then after a while the CheckMK service doesn’t respond on the host. As a result, nothing is pulled up anymore on the server.

Maybe i did something wrong :

  1. I placed the windows_updates.vbs in C:\ProgramData\checkmk\agent\plugins
  2. Checked on the server interface, the full scan became really slow
  3. Tried to add the settings you described here
  4. Reloaded the agent configuration with the command :
    C:\Program Files (x86)\checkmk\service> .\check_mk_agent.exe reload_config
  5. Checked on the server interface, the full scan became even slower then agent crashed after a while

In task manager the agent was on a constant 24% CPU usage.

I had to remove the plugin and restart the service. It hanged up for a while before the service manager returned an error and finally stopped it. I had to start it again manually.

The server is actually waiting for 4 updates to be installed. So it was a good opportunity for me to test the plugin.

This is all I know that happened. If i did something wrong, please let me know.
