Hello Admins,
Can any one help me with Nagios here? I am new to it. I want to monitor network traffic load on windows desktop with nagios server on linux. Below are the packages version installed on my server
nagios-3.4.1
nagios-plugins-1.4.16
nrpe-2.13

on windows desktop
NSClient++-0.3.9-Win32

Hi,

I doubt nsclient++ has defined standard checks for network interface traffic details on windows machine, however there is a way to query the NIC performance counters using nsclient++ for the appropraite counter name which can return you the required data.

type perfmon in run >> Slect Network Interface >> Selecet Bytes Received/Sec or Bytes Sent/Sec

then you can define a check in Nagiso like . /check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l "Network Interface\\Bytes Received/Sec","IN Bytes are %.2f %%" -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$

Read check_nt --help
-l "\\<performance object>\\counter","<description>
The <description> parameter is optional and is given to a printf
output command which requires a float parameter.
If <description> does not include "%%", it is used as a label.
Some examples:
"Paging file usage is %%.2f %%%%"
"%%.f %%%% paging file used."
