nagios and inventory discovery

[benhank]

Hey a question guys.
We have to install nscient++ on a large number of servers.
the problem is we have to figure out which servers are 32 or 64 bit. Is there a way we can get nagiosxi to give us that info?

Via SNMP:

Code: Select all

Command:
check_snmp -H 10.25.14.3 -o 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 -C public -P 2c

Output (Windows x86):
SNMP OK - "Hardware: x86 Family 6 Model 63 Stepping 2 AT/AT COMPATIBLE - Software: Windows Version 6.1 (Build 7600 Multiprocessor Free)" |

Output (Windows x64):
SNMP OK - "Hardware: Intel64 Family 6 Model 63 Stepping 2 AT/AT COMPATIBLE - Software: Windows Version 6.1 (Build 7600 Multiprocessor Free)" |

Another option is not Nagios related, but if you are pushing out via a script, if the "C:\Program Files (x86)\" directory exists you can bet this is a 64 bit OS.

Are all the hosts already in Nagios? If not it would probably be quicker to do a simple shell script.

With this Powershell script you can install NSClient++ from Nagios or Reactor with a Windows gateway.

And this GitHub project can help towards creating a Bash script which does the Nagios side configuration.

It is designed to work with templates though.
