Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

I am trying to configure to check a process memory utilization and cpu utilization using check_winprocess.pl (https://www.itefix.net/check_winprocess)

Can some one guide me how to configure?? I have copied the .pl files in nagios folder and .exe file in windows ns client script folder. but when i am running the command on nagios server , i am getting this below error :

[root@test libexec]# ./check_nrpe -H 192.168.199.1 -c check_proc_cnt
No handler for command: check_proc_cnt


can some one guide me??

It does not look like the plugin 'check_winprocess.exe' includes an NRPE listener, unless I'm missing something. You need an NRPE listener to accept incoming connections from your Nagios server. A few popular plugins that can listen for NRPE are as follows:
http://www.nsclient.org/
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... PA/details

I personally like NCPA, but NSClient is a very respected application as well. I recommend researching them both, and testing to see which one you prefer.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hello jolson,

But i have seen many people are using this plugin to check the process memory.

Can anyone help me in configuring this plugin??

What version of NSClient are you running?
Do any other checks work?

Could you please post your nsc.ini file? I would like to take a look at it to ensure that NSClient is properly configured for this plugin.

i am using 0.4.1.73, i have attached nsc.ini file.

Did you restart NSClient on the Windows machine you're trying to monitor?

From an administrator command prompt: Then retry your NRPE check from Nagios.

If that does not work, please stop NSClient and enable test mode: Then retry your check - what errors are you getting in the terminal?

Let me know what you find out.

From an administrator command prompt:

Code: Select all

net stop nscp
net start nscp

Then retry your NRPE check from Nagios.

If that does not work, please stop NSClient and enable test mode:

Code: Select all

net stop nscp
cd "C:\Program Files\NSClient++"
nscp.exe test

Then retry your check - what errors are you getting in the terminal?

Let me know what you find out.

This is the output i am getting when i am running the above command

Do any other NRPE checks work?

Everything looks good as far as I can tell.

It doesn't look like there's any 'test' input - meaning the listener didn't receive any data. Otherwise we would see errors - make sure that port 5666 is accessible through your Windows Firewall.
