Configuring NSClient to Monitor Services

[charger1129]

Hi. I am trying to configure the NSClient for a Windows server and I'm having some trouble with it. For example, I have all of these checks in the nagios server that i can assign to a server but I'm not sure how to enable these checks from the .INI file. Right now i have the default .INI file set up. If someone can give me an example of how to get the check disk working for the default C:\ would be appreciated. It would give me a starting point.

That doesn't look like any Nagios XI GUI i'm familiar with. Those also don't look like any sort of default Nagios XI commands, so I wouldn't know what they're doing without seeing the corresponding command definitions.

There's slightly different "default" configurations depending on the NSClient++ version you are using. If you could share your configuration file, it'd be helpful in figuring this out. Usually, most default NSClient++ configurations don't require anything additional other than enabling the NSClient and NRPE servers.

If I wanted to check the disk of a remote Windows server from the CLI, I could use the following:

Code: Select all

[root@xi-stable services]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.67.99 -c check_drivesize
OK All 3 drive(s) are ok|'C:\ used'=21.1143GB;40.18593;45.20917;0;50.23241 'C:\ used %'=42%;79;89;0;100 'D:\ used'=0B;0;0;0;0 'E:\ used'=8.06942GB;159.99765;179.99736;0;199.99706 'E:\ used %'=4%;79;89;0;100
