I see your commands.cfg contains the following:
Code: Select all
# 'check_nt' command definition
define command{
command_name check_nt
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p XXXXXXX -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$
}
The port you specify "XXXXXX" is not realy a port number and should be the port you want to connect to.

Code: Select all
Usage:
check_nt -H host -v variable [-p port] [-w warning] [-c critical]
[-l params] [-d SHOWALL] [-u](DEPRECATED) [-t timeout]

Code: Select all
Notes:
- The NSClient service should be running on the server to get any information
(http://nsclient.ready2run.nl).
- Critical thresholds should be lower than warning thresholds
- Default port 1248 is sometimes in use by other services. The error
output when this happens contains "Cannot map xxxxx to protocol number".
One fix for this is to change the port to something else on check_nt
and on the client service it's connecting to.

Do you have the nsclient installed on the server you are trying to monitor?

Try changing it to 12489.

To test if the connectivity is working, you could always try to do a telnet to the server on this port:
Or maybe you have a firewall installed on the windows server?
