Monitor folder permissions on windows host using XI

Post by plakshmi »

Team,

Can we monitor folder permissions on remote windows host using Nagios XI?

Let us know if there is any plugin to implement this.

Regards,
Pratapa

This should absolutely be possible. Presently I do not see a plugin that would suite your needs. However if you have a remote agent installed on that machine, using a vbs or powershell script should be pretty simple to write and configure to do the checks needed. Alternatively wmi could potentially provide similar information if you wished to write a check on the nagios server side instead.
Nagios-Plugins maintainer exclusively, unless you have other C language bugs with open-source nagios projects, then I am happy to help! Please pm or use other communication to alert me to issues as I no longer track the forum.
