Creating a .NET (c#) module

[lucasalvarezlacasa]

Issue and Steps to Reproduce

Describe your issue and tell us how to reproduce it.
More than an issue, this is a question. Can anybody provide a guide or something on how to write a C# module?
Basically I need to implement a SQL DB monitor and I wanted to do it by writing a C# module of my own that will receive the parameters from NSClient++, attempt to connect to the corresponding DB and get the metrics depending on the received command.
Then this will return the values to NSClient++ who will finally inform to Nagios.

Any way to accomplish this? Thanks!.

@lucasalvarezlacasa I think this is probably what you want: https://github.com/mickem/nscp/tree/master/modules/CSharpSamplePlugin however I've not done it myself

This example is old and won't work anymore. If you check on the dlls that it references you will see that those do not come anymore as modules with NSClient++ installation.

I have managed to make it work by running a .exe file as an external command. But now I don't know what NSClient++ does with that. If it spawns a new thread per time it gets a command or what.

Any ideas?

Ahh, not sure then. I bet the functionality still exists, but has probably been renamed; the answer might be in the dotnet binding somewhere: https://github.com/mickem/nscp/tree/master/modules/DotnetPlugins
