Nagios Support Forum

Thank you for description.

I have disabled check_nt while installing nsclient++ on windows machine.
Port 5666 is in listening state and client can be communicating with nagios server on 5666 port.
I have recheck port 12489 is disabled.

Moreover I did not specify anywhere that it should use check_nt.

Can you please answer the following questions please?

1- Is there any way to monitor windows machine with check_nrpe protocol?
2- Does nagios support the configuration wizard on port 5666 for windows machine?

As per my understanding nagios only allow configuration wizard for windows machine on check_nt protocol which listens on port 12489 port.

looking forward for your response.
Thank you very much!

You can use the NRPE wizard, which will use check_nrpe. You may need to define your commands though, as there are only a few built in, but once you get them setup you can use the same configuration on your different machines.

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions

I have done it, Issue was on nagios server side, which was monitoring my host with check_nt protocol rather than to monitor from check_nrpe.

I have fixed it for now.

Thank you!

Glad to hear it's working! And I'm glad we could all help you!

Is it alright if we lock this thread and mark the issue as resolved?
