Hi @vmesquita,

In regards to:

Which client should we use?

You have many options:
1.NSClient
2.NCPA
3.WMI
4.SNMP

NOTE: NSClient and NCPA give you the liberty to implement custom checks unlike in SNMP and WMI.

For information on installing and configuring the clients above, please follow the steps below:

Step 1: On your Nagios XI web UI, go to Help >> Administartor Guide

Step 2:On the Administartor Guide page, scrolldown and select Monitoring Windows

Hi Kyang,
We installed using a silent install and it's working. Thanks for the help!
