1 allow your user to run the script with the sudo rights. Just add
something like that in your /etc/sudoers (use visudo) :
nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: //check_3ware-raid.pl
2 then just add this kind of line in your NRPE config file :
command[check_3ware]=/usr/bin/sudo //check_3ware-raid.pl
3 don't forget to restart your NRPE daemon
Examples :
# ./check_3ware-raid.pl -P /usr/sbin/tw_cli -a unit_check -p -v -m
DEBUG : action : unit_check, path-tw_cli : /usr/sbin/tw_cli
DEBUG : check if /usr/sbin/tw_cli exists and is executable
DEBUG : warning threshold : 1, critical threshold : 2
DEBUG : controller :

Options:
-h, --help
Print detailed help screen
-V, --version
Print version information
-D, --display=STRING
to modify the output display...
default is "CHECK 3ware RAID - "
-P, --path-tw_cli=STRING
specify the path to the tw_cli binary
default value is /usr/sbin/tw_cli
-a, --action=STRING
specify the action : unit_check|disk_check
default is disk_check
disk_check : display state of all physical disks
unit_check : display state of all logical unit

the default behavior is to check each time every controller
-c, --critical=INT
specify a critical threshold for the number of disks in a non-OK state.
default is 2
only for the disk_check action
-w, --warning=INT
specify a warning threshold for the number of disks in a non-OK state.
default is 1
only for the disk_check action
-m, --more
Print a longer output. By default, the output is not complet because
Nagios may truncate it. This option is just for you
-p, --perfdata
If you want to activate the perfdata output

Got this plugin working on our Windows Server 2008 R2 with 3ware LSI 9750-4i, NSClient++, Strawberry Perl, and tw_cli.exe.
1. Install/save tw_cli.exe to C:\CLI\
2. Save check_3ware-raid.pl to C:\CLI\
3. Open check_3ware-raid.pl with notepad
4. Change:
my $tw_cli_path = '/usr/sbin/tw_cli';
to:
my $tw_cli_path = 'C:\CLI\tw_cli.exe';
5. Install strawberry perl on Windows.
6. Install NSCLient++ on Windows.
7. Go to the NSCLient++ installion directory (C:\\NSCLient++).
On nsclient.ini change/add the following:
CheckExternalScripts = 1
[CheckExternalScripts]
allow arguments=1
[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
check_3ware=C:\\strawberry\\perl\\bin\\perl.exe C:\\CLI\\check_3ware-raid.pl
8. Restart NSClient.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
9. On your nagios server in the command.cfg add the following:
# Ex. /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.0.42.28 -c check_3ware
define command{
command_name check_3ware
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_3ware
}
10. Add the following to your server.cfg file
# Check Windows2k8 3ware RAID
# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.0.42.28 -c check_3ware
define service{
use generic-service
host_name Windows2k8
service_description 3ware RAID
check_command check_3ware
}
1. Install/save tw_cli.exe to C:\CLI\
2. Save check_3ware-raid.pl to C:\CLI\
