Some things you'll need to set up on your systems, but I'll help you where I can. First you need to download nsca and install it on your system.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/ ... _Setup.pdf


I'll hack up a quick script and post it here.

Also, make sure you read up on setting up Nagios XI passive alerts. You'll need to set one up for this type of alert.

I should be able to get that out to you tomorrow morning.

Ok, I hope this is what you're looking for. Keep in mind that this is something that you'd normally have to come up with yourself if it didn't already exist.

Also note that this is a "quick and dirty script". It is written in perl and there are probably 1000 better ways to do this, but it returns an error if there is a problem. You'll need to set up the passive alert and then pipe the output to send_nsca.

If your system has any issues with it after running it, I am not liable or have no responsibility for any damages.

thanks , but i read that NSCA is an addon that allows you to send passive check results from remote Linux/Unix hosts(not windows) to the
Nagios daemon running on the monitoring server?????? what do you think my friend?

Try this for send_nsca:

Almost everything in Nagios can be done in both windows and Linux.
