not able to monitor windows 2008 server

[jtintegration]

I am running Nagios XI 5.2.3, installed the NSClient ++ on the server. Within Confguration Wizard of Nagios, I select Windows Server (disk space, process, etc) Everything failed except Ping. I am not sure why it is not picking up other monitors except Ping. I am not sure what I am missing. thanks in advance

[rkennedy]

Can you show us the message that is being reported for the failed services?

Also, from the Windows machine, what is the output of these commands?

Code: Select all

netstat -na | findstr 12489
netstat -na | findstr 5666

[jtintegration]

here are the output from server

[rkennedy]

It looks like NSClientServer isn't turned on, just NRPE. If you used the default wizard, that would explain it. Please post your NSClient++ configuration file for us to review. (usually nscslient.ini)

[jtintegration]

I do not see NSCLIENTSERVER service within Windows 2008 Server. Here is the nsclient.ini

[rkennedy]

Add these parts to your configuration file under the respected section (might already exist, but I know the [/settings/NSClient/server] one isn't) -

Code: Select all

[/settings/default]
password = FPRi5c9ZQmCCOZll
[/modules]
NSClientServer = 1
[/settings/NSClient/server]
; PORT NUMBER - Port to use for check_nt.
port = 12489

then, restart the NSClient++ service. (nscp)

If you have further issues, this file is a good reference - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

[jtintegration]

It is still not working, please see screenshoot of nagios and ssh seesion from Nagios server. I also included the nsclient.ini. After made changes to the ini file, I did restart the Nsclient service.

Here is the ini file:
# If you want to fill this file with all available options run the following command:
# nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all
# If you want to activate a module and bring in all its options use:
# nscp settings --activate-module <MODULE NAME> --add-defaults
# For details run: nscp settings --help

Is 172.0.0.1 the IP of the Nagios machine? Otherwise, you may need to adjust this, and then restart the nscp service. From there, I check out the nsclient.log to see if it's showing any indication as to what's going on.

I changed the ip address to the Nagios server but still getting following message on the nsclientl log file:

Try adding the following to the nsclient.ini file and restart the service and see if that fixes the checks that are failing.

Code: Select all

; Section for NSClient (NSClientServer.dll) (check_nt) protocol options.
[/settings/NSClient/server]

; ENABLE SSL ENCRYPTION - This option controls if SSL should be enabled.
use ssl = 0

; PERFORMANCE DATA - Send performance data back to Nagios (set this to 0 to remove all performance data).
performance data = 1

; PORT NUMBER - Port to use for check_nt.
port = 12489
