You'll need to be a little more specific. Nagios is not really used for configuring remote machines - that needs to be done manually or with something like Puppet or Chef. What exactly are you trying to do?

I want to add windows host on Nagios Monitoring Server through SSH services instead of installation of NSClient++ addon.

So please guide me how I can do.

Thanks,
Sjain

The hardest part of this will be getting SSH running on Windows, but once you have that running it's essentially the same as monitoring a Linux machine:

You will need to make sure the checks run on the Windows machine are, of course, Windows-compatible. This means either Powershell, batch, VBS, compiled binary, or anything else you have on the system that can run the plugin.
