Nagios (Connection Refused)

[Jason126]

For some reason my NagiosXI server wont retrieve information such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk space on my windows desktop. These are both on an internal network so I shouldn't need to open any ports, windows firewall is turned off, the NSClient++ config file seems to be correct. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Any help would be appreciated.

First, check to make sure that port 12489 on the windows box is open and reachable by the nagios server. On the nagios server:

Code: Select all

nmap <ip of windows box> -p 12489

Next, check to make sure that the password exists in the nsclient config and is passed in the $ARGn$s for the check (-s).

I currently have no password assigned, I left it blank just because I was using it to test.

What came of the nmap abrist had you run? You have made sure to set allow_arguments to 1 in the nsclient config file correct?
