check process size

[HaschkeD]

Hi,
we use Nagios 3.2.3 and i want to monitor a process….
If the process size is bigger than 1,5 GB i want to get a warning/critical message.
It is a Windows Server 2012 with NSClient 0.3.9.
Is this possible?

Regards
Dennis

I recommend upgrading NSClient++ to a newer version. 0.3.9 is out of support.
http://nsclient.org/download/

Then to check a process, take a look at this link under the Sample Commands section for an example.

Thanks. I installed the latest NSClient++ an a Windows x64 Testsystem.
I selected "Generic" with "Insecure legacy mode". Is this correct?
On my old NSClient++ i have a nsc.ini file to configure things. This file is missing in the new NSClient++.
If i try to check something i get the error "Connection refused". Any idea why?

I configure the nsclient.ini file.
Now i get the message "could not fetch Information from Server".
In the web gui i see "Rejected Connection from IP xx.xx.xxx.x".
Under allowed hosts i enter the IP from my Nagios Server.

Is yes.

I have attached a default, known working nsclient.ini file here.
Add the IP address of the Nagios server to the allowed hosts option and over write the copy on the server and restart NSClient++.
Then check the Nagios server to see if the commands can connect to the Windows system.

Thanks for the file. I enter the IP from my Nagios host and Change the file and Restart the service.
Now i get the error "Invalid Password".

You will want to edit the password on line 11 to be your password, then restart the service.

But what for a password? It's not quite clear to me.
We have several users that login to Nagios…..

You need to create a password, and this will be the same password you are using in Nagios XI to run the check with the check_nt command

I use Nagios Core 3.2.3
With my old NSClient++ i don't need a password.
I commented the password line out with a #.
Now it works fine…..

We use external scripts..
[NRPE Handlers]
check_ad=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\check_ad.vbs
check_ms_win_updates=cmd /c echo scripts/check_windows_updates.ps1; exit $LastExitCode | powershell.exe -command -
check_dag=powershell.exe scripts\check_dag.ps1
check_sophos=cscript.exe //NoLogo scripts\check_sophos.vbs /W:$ARG1$ /c:$ARG2$
check_exchange_dag_indexstate_health=cmd /c echo scripts\NagiosMonitoring_Exchange2010ContentIndexStateHealth.ps1 | PowerShell.exe -Command -
check_database_mount_shop=cmd /c echo scripts/Check_database_mount_Shop.ps1 | PowerShell.exe -Command -
check_database_mount_shop_at=cmd /c echo scripts/Check_database_mount_Shop_at.ps1 | PowerShell.exe -Command -
check_database_mount_werke=cmd /c echo scripts/Check_database_mount_Werke.ps1 | PowerShell.exe -Command -

Is this with the new nsclient.ini possible?
Is it possible to install the new NSClient++ with command line (Batch)?

[scottwilkerson]

Yes that should work fine.

There is a silent installer for nsclient++ you can see details here
https://docs.nsclient.org/installing/

We are not the developers of this software however, so further questions regarding nsclient++ should be directed to them
