This how-to paper will describe how to perform the most basic test, a test that checks the average roundtrip-time and measures packet loss using check_ping. The test will be performed by a remote MS Windows server and called via check_nrpe and NSClient++. This test/check/service can then be added to a service group that you can use when generating SLA-reports.
