Nagios Support Forum

Does anyone know of a vbs script or similar method for sending a critical error for a windows host using NSClient. I have a program that will flag an error - now I just need to know how to tell nagios to flag it. Something simple will do. Thanks

OK if i chose that method how would I configure NXI to watch/monitor those reg keys?

When using NagiosXI is there a known way that any software installed on a host windows server can be logged or notified as a warning or critical event. It would be very handy to know when a program has been installed to a server that is being monitored. ANY help would be greatly appreciated - Thanks

OK the user filtering worked thanks I'm using the nagios event monitor that comes with NagiosXI and i'm using it for windows and i'm hoping to be able to flag something as critical in the event log.

Is it possible to configure which hosts are viewable by user login? Couldn't find an obvious way to do this or is it even possible?

OUTPUT is: additional_freshness_latency=15 check_host_freshness=0 check_service_freshness=1 host_freshness_check_interval=60 service_freshness_check_interval=60 So it appears that host freshness needs to be check_host_freshness=1 So I will change to that. Rest looked good. I will restart nagios and ...

thanks for that - it may come in very handy. i could maybe create a .vbs script that would do that in a windows environment

No change. The passive host at the top which has been offline for over 2 days still shows as up. Here is the screenshot. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks for having a look

sent a PM to both with the config you asked for. Thanks
I hope it will finally lead to an answer to this puzzle.
