If you would like to use the Wizard, you should be able to simply do so. That is to say, the "Windows SNMP" wizard. Let us know if you have issues after you have enabled SNMP and ran through the wizard.

You still have to enable snmp on the windows server:

What version of XI are you running?
What version of the component are you using?
Is snmp enabled and running on the windows server?
On the nagios server:

Code: Select all

nmap -p 161 <windows server ip>
On the windows server - go to --> run --> type "services.msc" and press "enter" --> is the "SNMP Service" started?

It seems you are still getting errors for not being able to properly communicate with the windows server. Have you installed the snmp service, configured and enabled it via services.msc? This would all be per the Microsoft link above. Additionally, let's run:

Windows system:

Code: Select all

net start snmp
Nagios system:

Code: Select all

nmap -sU -p 161 [Windows host\IP]
Also do you have any firewalls in place other than the windows one that might prevent nagios from properly talking with this box?

After you enable snmp on the windows host, check with snmpwalk command from nagios site.

snmpwalk -H windowsipadd -v2c -c yourcommunitystring
