Shutdown/Restart Win-server event tracker messages to Nagios

[locobox]

Has anybody figured out how to make the event tracker message/reason you input before restarting a Windows server be sent to Nagios?

I'd like to have that functionality, so these restart/shutdown messages get tracked in nagios as a comment for the host.

Thanks!

Hi locobox,

One possibility is to monitor the windows event log for a specific event ID and report that event to Nagios.

Windows event tracking is event id 1074 it looks like

there are a number of plugins on nagios exchange for monitoring the event log. Also, Nsclient++ 0.4.0 reports to have real time event log monitoring.

Hope that helps,
