Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

Is there any plugin available with which I could monitor the product/file version of a file?

For example, if I'd want to check the product/file version of the nscp.exe, (0.4.1.101) how should I be doing this?

Thanks.

Willem

Ok, just found there is a check in nscp itself,

http://www.nsclient.org/nscp/wiki/Check ... ck_version

Just have to find out how to get this info and give an alert when it's not the the baseline version. Should I do this with nrpe?

It looks like this is only for checking the NSclient++ version, not any other object. Is that still all you are looking for?

You should be using check_nrpe, and I believe, as long as you have the alias defined for check_version in the nsclient++ config file, you should be able to call the check from the XI server by passing "-c CheckVersion" to the windows system through nrpe.

Hi,

In the meantime we created a framework with Powershell to distribute the NSCP agent to our monitored servers as a package. So we know which version is installed where and don't need Nagios for this . Tx for your input anyway!
