Nagios Support Forum

I am running Nagios XI 5.2.3, installed the NSClient ++ on the server. Within Confguration Wizard of Nagios, I select Windows Server (disk space, process, etc) Everything failed except Ping. I am not sure why it is not picking up other monitors except Ping. I am not sure what I am missing. thanks in advance

Can you show us the message that is being reported for the failed services?

Also, from the Windows machine, what is the output of these commands?

here are the output from server

It looks like NSClientServer isn't turned on, just NRPE. If you used the default wizard, that would explain it. Please post your NSClient++ configuration file for us to review. (usually nscslient.ini)

I do not see NSCLIENTSERVER service within Windows 2008 Server. Here is the nsclient.ini

Add these parts to your configuration file under the respected section (might already exist, but I know the [/settings/NSClient/server] one isn't) - then, restart the NSClient++ service. (nscp)

If you have further issues, this file is a good reference - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

It is still not working, please see screenshoot of nagios and ssh seesion from Nagios server. I also included the nsclient.ini. After made changes to the ini file, I did restart the Nsclient service.

Here is the ini file:
# If you want to fill this file with all available options run the following command:
# nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all
# If you want to activate a module and bring in all its options use:
# nscp settings --activate-module <MODULE NAME> --add-defaults
# For details run: nscp settings --help

Is 172.0.0.1 the IP of the Nagios machine? Otherwise, you may need to adjust this, and then restart the nscp service. From there, I check out the nsclient.log to see if it's showing any indication as to what's going on.

I changed the ip address to the Nagios server but still getting following message on the nsclientl log file:

Try adding the following to the nsclient.ini file and restart the service and see if that fixes the checks that are failing.
