Monitor Win machines from AWS via central Win Server

Post by kevinswain »

Hi
I am very new to Nagios and need to help
We have installed NagiosIX on AWS using the supplied image.
All is running great.

We have a need to monitor remote Windows 8.1 tablets that are on a clients site behind a firewall and there own VLAN

The set up is :-

Nagios IX on AWS

** Firewall **
**VLAN **
Windows 2012 server behind firewall with internet access
Windows 8.1 tablets that can connect to Win server but not the internet

Is there a way to setup the Windows 2012 server to collect the monitor data from the tablets and then send this on to Nagios on AWS

I hope the above makes sense

Kevin

You need a Windows gateway running NSClient++, which does the checks for you and returns the results to you XI servers on AWS. It's definitely technically possible.
