monitoring windows machines

[rahuliq]

Hi All

I have been using nagios to monitor Linux machines for some time but now I have a need to monitor windows servers.

I have gone through the documentation about installing nsclient++ which would allow you to monitor with check_nt commands

But like Linux machines where do you find the commands defined on the windows machine and how do you know the available commands.

For example for a Linux machine I would define the command in nrpe.cfg be it available plugins or custom plugins, similarly where would I do it on a windows machine and what are the available commands for using check_nt or check_nrpe.

Please help

Regards
Rahul

The check_nt commands are define in the client, you can see the commands by running

Code: Select all

check_nt -h
