measure the temperature of the servers

[abpro]

Hello, I am a user who bought nagios xi I have a question, what happens is that I want a plugin where I can measure the temperature of my servers and windows clients, I have investigated, I do not find information that works for me

I don't know what are the plugins/solutions that you tried so far, but there are many different plugins on the Nagios Exchange than may possibly do the job for you. I simple search for "temperature" produced numerous results for me:

https://exchange.nagios.org/index.php?o ... emperature

Once you find a plugin that works for you from the command line, you can add a command, and a service to your Nagios XI server, and start monitoring the temperature. Please review our official documentation on managing plugins here:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

So that plugin is a PowerShell script and it will require an agent to execute the script on the remote host. I would recommend using NCPA if you haven't installed that already.

NCPA Agent Installation Instructions

Then copy this into the plugins directory and setup a check Nagios XI. We have a knowledgebase article on this with a PowerShell example to follow.

Nagios XI - Using Scripts / Plugins With NCPA

Let's us know if you have further questions as you start to set this up.

Hello Benjamin, thank you for answering, I already made
the guide that you sent me the plugin and powersheld is already in the directory C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Nagios \ NCPA \ plugins

At the time of monitoring it by nagios xi when adding the plugin it does not perform any monitoring, it would help me a lot to know what command I can enter to be able to monitor the temperature,
I get this error and this is the command I add:


check_xi_ncpa! -t 'windows10' -P 5693 -M 'plugins / check_ohm_temperatures.ps1' -q -warning 80 -critical 90


It would help me to know what command I can enter, which is what it would show me.

Hi,

Are you able to run the PowerShell script locally and get the correct results? If so, try running it from the XI server side and add the -v option for verbose output. If you get an error, please post the full output from the CLI to the thread for us to review.

For example (run from XI server)

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py -H <ipaddress> -t 'windows10' -P 5693 -M 'plugins/check_ohm_temperatures.ps1' -q '-warning 80 -critical 90' -v

Benjamin thank you very much .. I was able to monitor the temperature of my client servers I will only have to modify the powershell script to define it and know what I am monitoring
