Nagios Support Forum

I've read through the Event Handler documentation, and think I understand how to go about it.

But if there's a problem, what I'll want the Event Handler to do is run a script on the remote Windows Host. This is the part I don't understand, how a Handler on the Nagios server is going to have an effect on the remote Host, especially a Windows one.

My guess is I'll have to make another "pseudo check" that's defined in the Remote Host's nrpe.cfg(NRPE) or nsc.ini(NSClient++), which will run the script and report back success to the Event Handler on the Server.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks....Lyle

Lyle, you hit the nail on the head, that the typical implementation of it. With Windows in particular thats exactly how you go about implementing it.
