not able to monitor windows 2008 server

[jtintegration]

Here is my complete nsclient config file and it still does not work:

# If you want to fill this file with all available options run the following command:
# nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all
# If you want to activate a module and bring in all its options use:
# nscp settings --activate-module <MODULE NAME> --add-defaults
# For details run: nscp settings --help


; Section for NSClient (NSClientServer.dll) (check_nt) protocol options.

; ENABLE SSL ENCRYPTION - This option controls if SSL should be enabled.
use ssl = 0

; PERFORMANCE DATA - Send performance data back to Nagios (set this to 0 to remove all performance data).

And scrrenshoot of Nagios is included

I'm not sure why your NRPE is running on port 12489. Change this to 5666. Then restart the service, they're probably fighting for who gets to listen.

Code: Select all

; TODO
[/settings/NRPE/server]
; PORT NUMBER - Port to use for check_nt.
port = 12489

After doing so, try again. If that doesn't work, post your config + the nsclient log file once again.

It still does not work when I changed the port to 5666. Please take a look at the screenshot of nsclient.ini and screenshoot of nagios ofr those windows services.

You changed the wrong part. NSClient runs on 12489, and NRPE on 5666. See above.

I am still having problem with monitoring my Windows 2008 with NSClient. Can someone help? thanks

You are not following directions on what should be changed, so it's hard to say what the problem is at this point. I would review the following documents as they btoh contain quite a bit of good information for teaching you about how to configure NSClient++ with NRPE -

Just checking in since we have not heard from you in a while. Did @rkennedy's post clear things up or has the issue otherwise been resolved?
