NSClient++ Installation in command line

[bsivavani]

Hello all,

I got below commands to install NSClient++ in windows 7 and 8.

Win32:
msiexec /l* log.txt /i NSCP-0.4.0.169-win32.msi CONF_CAN_CHANGE="TRUE" ALLOWED_HOSTS="99.99.99.99" CONF_CHECKS="TRUE" CONF_NSCLIENT="TRUE" /quiet

Win64:
msiexec /l* log.txt /i NSCP-0.4.3.143-x64.msi CONF_CAN_CHANGE="TRUE" ALLOWED_HOSTS="99.99.99.99" NSCLIENT_PWD="" CONF_CHECKS="TRUE" CONF_NSCLIENT="TRUE" /quiet

Is there any way to deploy NSclient++ on multiple servers at a time from single server.

Thanks,
Vani

This is more of a Windows question than a Nagios question, but there are a few technologies you can use:

You can either use Powershell WinRM to run remote commands (Invoke-Command) or use tools like psexec from sysinternals to run remote commands.
This way you can just put your installation package on a share start then trigger the installation.
Here are some more ideas http://docs.nsclient.org/tutorial/core/ ... ely-manage

You can also modify the ini from command line, e. h.

Code: Select all

nscp settings --path /settings/NRPE/server --key "allowed hosts" --set 127.0.0.1

bsivavani, did tmcdonald and mopp answer your question?

You should also check out Willem's "Nagios Automation Framework" for Nagios Reactor, it allows you to push out NSClient++.

Thanks for the update.

Is this necessary to install Nagios reactor.

We are able to install using below batch file in the same system.

@echo off
msiexec /i C:\Users\sivavani.basetty\Desktop\Nagios\NSCP-0.4.3.143-x64.msi /passive /norestart ADDLOCAL="ALL" REMOVE="Documentation" CONF_CHECKS="TRUE" CONF_NSCLIENT="TRUE" ALLOWED_HOSTS="192.168.152.130" ADD_DEFAULTS="ALL" CONF_CAN_CHANGE="TRUE" /L*V "example.log"
xcopy "C:\Users\sivavani.basetty\Desktop\Nagios\nsclient.ini" "C:\Program Files\NSClient++" /q
net stop nscp
net start nscp

We are searching for to install agent from remote system. Please let us know how to proceed on this.

Remote install options have been listed in previous posts. Please check out the links and advice given by myself and others, and let us know if that will work for you. Unfortunately we can't help too much with the distribution/automation since that's not a problem specific to Nagios.

Thats similar to how I used to do it at my last environment.

You need to deploy a Reactor server to take advantage of Willem's method. While this may seem like more work, it does work well for other things such as updating NSClient++ configs as well.

And you can do many more stuff with Reactor and link that to Nagios quick actions (for example)

Thanks WillemDH!
