Nagios Support Forum

Dear list,

at my site, the boxes to monitor are ~70% Windows based, some with custom
applications running.
After looking at SNMP and nsclient, I'm not totally happy with them.

I imagine something like nrpe running on a single windows box could be the
way to go for us.

The setup I'd like most, would be a single nt box performing all "special"
(windows-specific) checks
for all windows machines, communicating with the main nagios host via
check_nrpe.

Yes, this would also mean, you need to build the plugins running on windows,

but for the services in question, a custom plugin would be necessary anyway.

Plus you would not need to have an agent installed on every box to be
monitored, which is not an option here.
(In fact, this is the main reason we ruled out nsclient).

My question is, would you consider something like that useful,
am I reinventing the wheel, or is there an obvious existing way to achieve
this?

Your feedback is very much appreciated
MiWi
