Unable to strat the NSCLient Service

[RIDS_I2MP]

Hi,

The path of the executable is

C:\Program Files\NSClient++\nsclient++.exe

[lmiltchev]

This seems like a valid path to the NSClient++ executable (ver. 3.x)...

We have tried uninstalling the agent and reinstalling the agent but no change. We could not reboot the server as it is production server. We have used the .exe to install the agent.

What version of the client have you tried to install? Try uninstalling NSClient++ again and reinstall using the "*.msi" file.

Hi,

That was a mistake from our side, we are using .msi to install the Nagios agent.

I'd highly recommend you take a look at the NSClient++ support channels as well as in this case it's not a direct issue with Nagios. I've not seen this problem before, so it was likely a fluke with the installation, or an issue with how it's being handled on the windows end.

Could you verify that the ports used by NSClient are not being used?

From a windows command prompt issue the following:

Code: Select all

netstat -na | find "5666"
netstat -na | find "12489"
