Hello All,
I want to start monitoring some windows servers with Nagios Core 3 and was wondering if I installed the NSClient on a single windows server, lets call it server1, and then run remote scripts from server1 to other servers and have the results come back to a nagios check on server1. Thinking on using a single windows server in a sort of distributed monitoring scheme.
I realize that the results coming back would have to have some " creative " info so I would know what server is having an issue. Anyone done something like this? Is it worth the trouble as opposed to putting the NSClient on all of the windows servers?
Thanks,
Steve

You can forward NRPE results to a central NSClient++ "server" yes, it is quite experimental however, I would definitely look into that before dabbling in it:
