Nagios Support Forum

Nagiosxi version = 2012R1.7
Centos 5.6 32 bit OS
Virtual Machine
-------------------------------------------
I'm trying to connect a Windows Host via NRDS and can't seem to figure out why im not seeing it in Unconfigured Objects.

I've tried NRDP (https://mynagiosserveraddress/nrdp/) with token only and do see the default "some host" & "some service" being created within Unconfigured Objects..so I am guessing it's a configuration issue within my NRDS_Win setup?

I installed NRDS_WINR3-64.exe

My currrent Config.ini is:
[settings]
CONFIG_VERSION=0
CONFIG_NAME=ASP_Troubleshoot
CONFIG_OS=Windows (64-bit)
URL=https://XXX.XXX.192.59/nrdp/
TOKEN=1234567890
PLUGIN_DIR=C:\Program Files\Nagios\NRDS_Win\plugins
UPDATE_CONFIG=0
UPDATE_PLUGINS=0
LOG_FILE=C:\Program Files\Nagios\NRDS_Win\logs\NRDS_debug.log

[services]
nrpe_memload = .\plugins\memload_nrpe_nt.exe c: 90 99


My current Host.ini is:
[settings]
HOSTNAME=localhost
CONFIG=config.ini

Looking at the logs..I don't see anything obvious for error:

I've restarted Nagios after giving it time (10 minutes or so) to appear in the Unconfigured Objects area..but no luck

Any help is greatly appreciated!

QS1,

Change your service definition to:
additionally, using cmd try running the command from the cmd line to make sure the plugin syntax is correct
also, for a list of sample plugins with definitions included, check here:

Thanks,

Right..however im still not seeing the Host or Service show up as unconfigured objects on nagiosxi..

The service command was made correct:

service definition should look like this:
also I would recomend using the plugins found here and using the config.ini as a sample. These plugins will also return perf data which memload_nrpe_nt will not.

Hope that helps,

Thank you Yancy..the service commands did help. The Config template in XI now mirrors the service command from the Windows host. For now I've turned off updates because when I try with 1 i don't see check information being passed.I've included an attachment for more information as to how the current setup is

QS1,

Check to make sure the plugin exists on your nagios server.

All plugins to be deployed to your clients should reside here: Also, you don't have a HOST check defined.
/usr/local/nrdp/plugins/Windows

for example,
Thanks,

The Host check is now represented correctly on the Windows machine as well as in the NRDS config template. Still dont see this coming through as an unconfigured object in XI..is there an error log anywhere in the server i can refer to?

Lets try clearing the old unconfigured objects cache and see if that takes care of the issue.

running this command places old host and service checks used for NSCA back into the unconfigured objects area. The Windows NRDS check in question does not appear

QS1,

Can you verify you're using the latest version of NRDS config manager (1.2).

http://your ip/nagiosxi/admin/ > Manage Components

Look for version number of NRDS Config Manager.

If you're running something older than 1.2, Uninstall and reinstall to the latest component.


Thanks,
