monitoring windows servers

Post by alertsuser »

Hi
I'm new to Nagios and Linux in general but have managed to set it up and have started to look at monitoring windows servers.
I have upgraded the server to Nagios 3.3.1 and also use Nconf 1.3.0 to add servers which have NSclient++ installed.
Now I have created a service within Nconf to monitor Diskspace using check_nt and the useddiskspace option and set this to use percentage.
The config is imported into Nagios ok and the diskspace monitor works, however I would like to use disk size rather than percentages but after trying various variations within the services.cfg (created by Nconf) nothing appears to work accept one variation which just sends the monitor into a critical state.
Can someone tell me if it is possible to use the check_nt / useddiskspace command to monitor the diskspace based on the size in MB or GB or if it is better to do it some other way.

There is a windows port of the Linux check_disk you can use that should accomplish this: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... sk/details

I've never used it myself but give it a go.

Will give this a try, one question though does this run from the windows server or need to be added to linux server nagios is running on?
Instructions that are in included with the download don't seem to specify.
