Windows Service check

[rmank]

Hello ,

we in the phase of moving to NAGIOS XI from PATROL .So there is a very specific need to monitor

-->Windows services which are down (set with automatic)
-->Trying with checkServiceState

[root libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H XXXX -p XXX -t 30 -c CheckServiceState -a CheckAll
CRITICAL: AeLookupSvc: stopped (critical), AudioSrv: stopped (critical), Zabbix Agent: stopped (critical)

but the concern is here that ,we will get only one alert ,even when there are multiple services are going down .So is there a way to set
-->to get individual alerts when there is a service failure
-->get two individual alerts if there are two process down at the same time ..

a sample view is attached from Patrol here ...

You should be able to create a new service with Nagios, for each service you'd like to check. The command can be adjusted to use specific services. See below for an example -

Code: Select all

[root@suse11 libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.5.47 -c CheckServiceState -a MMCSS
CRITICAL: MMCSS: stopped delayed ()|'MMCSS'=1;0;4

thanks a lot .so in general we have to explicitly set the service name unless we sort it with own split script ...

In order for you to see alert changes per status, yes, and for notifications sake, yes.
