Hi all,
I have nagios on ubuntu server and im trying to monitoring windows machines especial there hard drive health. Im in a search of a plugins and other stuff on another topic and i kind get in trouble with NRPE !
As i understand nrpe let you to send some kind of signal to tell the NSClientt++ or to tell the windows machine to execute some scripts or something and when the windows machine get the results it sends to the Nagios. So in my experiment here i was able to get to work this NRPE and here it is the results i get
root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_nrpe -H 172.25.1.101 -c alias_cpu
OK CPU Load ok.|'5m'=12%;80;90 '1m'=11%;80;90 '30s'=11%;80;90
root@nagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec#
i have the nrpe_nt.0.8b-bin.zip file unziped in C:\ containing this files
1) libeay32.dll
2) nrpe.cfg
3) NRPE_NT.exe
4) ssleay32.dll
5) test.cmd
6) nrpe_nt.log
but i guess i don't need this because i have this next thing in the nsclient.ini file

so my question here is how when i run the ./check_nrpe -H 172.25.1.101 -c alias_cpu is gave me the results. where is this alias_cpu or checkCPU script is or how is executing because there is nothing similar in the NSClient++ folder. And the importing thing is how can i execute new script that i made or already made to be execute and warped with nsclinet ++ so the check_nrpe can tell the NSClient++ to execute and i can get the info back.
Yes you do not need those files....because NSClient++ is the NRPE agent for windows as the documentation shows..
That CPU check is calling an internal module within NSClient++ it is not calling a plugin, in order to add additional custom plugins you would need to place them in the scripts folder of NSClient++ and follow their documentation for wrapping a definition within NSClient++ so you can remotely call the plugin.

Port 12489 won't for for NRPE as the documentation shows that is check_nt's default port, and the timeout rate should not matter since that is not the error you are receiving. Did you run the commands at the top of the nsclient.ini file? The new versions require you to run that to expand the entire configuration file "which you will need to do to set up ANY new commands, including the document I asked you to follow."
Yes i know that 12489 port wont work for NRPE, i just try to see what will be the reaction ... any way ... sorry i dont understand you well here, correct me if im wrong

You mean to put/write the commands at top/beginning of the nsclient.ini file (if so, i did and same thing same errors).
And errors like

i get this when i execute the Check-Updates.ps1 in PowerShell and also i have this after all changes that i found that have to be made, the same error i get in nagios ....

This is one of the small frustrations with the new versions of NSClient unfortunately.
hahahaha way i dont read that .... OMG all nsclinet.ini file is changed and there are a bunch of configurations and command that i dont see them ..... this is interesting and also yes frustrations ... any way now i have this errors ...
