Agent installation on Windows

Post by mkeey »

We have installed agents on numerous Windows servers and have had issues with functionality. It has generally come down to having to update the INI file as items are missing. Here is what I have in my command string (used zero's for the IPs)...

msiexec /i NSCP-0.4.4.23-x64.msi CONF_CAN_CHANGE=1 MONITORING_TOOL=None ALLOWED_HOSTS=10.000.0.150,10.000.0.167,10.000.0.169 NRPEMODE=LEGACY ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=OP5Montoring,Documentation,SampleConfig CONF_CHECKS=1 CONF_NSCLIENT=1 NSCLIENT_PWD=""

I need to know how to add these lines so that the INI file is complete....

; NSClientServer - A server that listens for incoming check_nt connection and processes incoming requests.
NSClientServer = 1

; 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

Looking at the documentation here
http://docs.nsclient.org/manual/windows ... nt-install

I don't see the individual config options for all of the items, the closest I see in the SampleConfig which may be able to be used to grab a config from a shared location

This is disappointing. Is there anyway to escalate this question to your development team?

We are not the developers of nsclient, but you could bring it up to their developers
