Nagios XI Automated Install

[Cat]

All,

Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, has anyone already PS scripted an automated install of Nagios XI?

Thank you,
Cat

Cat,

Could we get a little clarity on this? Can you expand a little on exactly what you are trying to do? I want to make sure I fully understand your request.

We are planning to install the client on 400+ servers so we were going to script the installer in PowerShell, but I was asking if someone else already has done that which would save us time.

You want to install NSClient++ on 400 clients? I'm just a little unclear on what you need to install 400 times. I just want to make sure we're on the same page. I think you are referring to an agent that talks to Nagios XI, and not Nagios XI itself, correct?

Hello,

I'm using this NAF action to install NSCLient and NxLog on 600 Windows Servers:

http://outsideit.net/naf-request-install/

And this one to update the NSCLient++ scripts folder.

http://outsideit.net/naf-update-nsclien ... ts-folder/

If you would use these scripts, the only thing you would still need is a script to put the correct nsclient.ini file in place. (as I can"t publish mine as it contains too many sensitive code)

Grtz

Cat, Willem's solution is the only thing that I'm aware of tailored to your requirements.

I know you can do it with Group Policy, SCCM, powershell, or psexec but I'm not aware of something specifically built for installing nsclient and the script would need to be written.
