Monitoring IIS and httpd connections

[rbizzell39]

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any information on configuring Nagios the check IIS as well as http connections thanks.

Several IIS plugins available at https://exchange.nagios.com/directory/P ... ervers/IIS

Same thing about Apache: https://exchange.nagios.com/directory/P ... ers/Apache

Once you give us a plugin you are trying to setup, we can give more specific information.

I was looking at check_iis8_connections

[dwhitfield]

Did you have any specific questions about that plugin? We don't maintain it, but we might be able to help you out. I note there's a README at https://github.com/esterniclos/nagios_i ... /README.md. It also looks like the github is better-maintained than our exchange site, but at this point I don't know if there are any bugs fixed in the github version.

Which plugin would you recommned I would like to use one that you are familiar and that works with nagios core 4.2.1

[dwhitfield]

I misread that as httpd the first time, so disregard the Apache link.

Anyway, there's check_http which we support. I'll need a little bit more info about what exactly you want to test in IIS to point you in the right direction.

I got a request from one of developers and that ask if I could monitor httpd connections and IIS 8 in general

[dwhitfield]

There are a bunch of ways to check things on Windows, including IIS, but we do not officially support anything for IIS in Nagios Core.

Although it isn't something we support directly, many people use https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/A ... ++/details, so you'll find people are able to help with issues you have there.

Again, if you can be specific on what you want to check in IIS, we can point you something more specific.

I would like to check the app pool status and current http connections

[dwhitfield]

For app pool, please use this page - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ester ... _state.ps1

For instructions on what to add to your NSClient++ information, look at this page - https://github.com/esterniclos/nagios_iis

Code: Select all

    [/settings/external scripts/scripts]
         # Requires allow arguments=true
          check_iis8_app_pool_state = powershell.exe scripts\check_iis8_app_pool_state.ps1 $ARG1$

          check_default_app_pool = powershell.exe scripts\check_iis8_app_pool_state.ps1 DefaultAppPool

          # Requires allow arguments=true
          check_iis8_website = powershell.exe scripts\check_iis8_site.ps1 $ARG1$
          check_default_website = powershell.exe scripts\check_iis8_site.ps1 'Default Web Site'


          check_connections = powershell.exe scripts\check_iis8_connections.ps1 localhost 'Default Web Site' 3000 4000

Then, you can call to any of those 5 commands using check_nrpe with the -c parameter.

https://github.com/esterniclos/nagios_i ... ctions.ps1 should work for the connections part.

Let us know if that doesn't work for you!
