Nagios Support Forum

I have started to install nsclient to check on server stats in the DMZ. I have tried to install on 4 different Windows 2008 R2 servers with one server not letting the service run properly.

I have had three successes with the installs. Two of those servers still need to have further work done to clear up a firewall issue.

The last server I have re-installed twice, and the when starting it through services the log remains as a txt file and only the first line of the log exists "2017-04-19 11:12:56: messafe:modules\FileLogger\FileLogger.cpp:86: Starting to log for: NSClient++ - 0.3.9.328 2011-08-16".

This server is a Windows IIS web server with many web required resources running.

I am unsure how to proceed

Have you tried using different NSClient++ versions?

Can you share the current nsc.ini/nsclient.ini from this machine?

Can you also share the output of check_nrpe/check_nt from the Nagios XI machine?

It's not immediately clear what the problem is. Is the NSClient++ service simply not starting?

The service attempts to start and starts rolling, but hangs.

I have not tried a different NSClient, but it has not failed on any install to this point.

Here is the rest of the docs

The NSClient community no longer supports 0.3.9.

0.4.4 is now our recommended version. If your wizard still suggests 0.4.4, then it is an old wizard. I would suggest trying 0.4.4, but we can certainly try to get 0.3.9 working.
