Nagios Support Forum

Hello There,

I am trying to configure event handler to auto start/restart Service on Windows Servers with NCPA.

I do have link for "how to restart a Windows service via NRPE and NSClient++". Is there any similar documentation for NCPA as well?

Thank You

Off topic but my first defense would be to tell the service to restart itself twice before dying. Example for nsclient:

sc failure nscp reset= 86400 actions= restart/120000/restart/120000/none/120000

That is already in place. My requirement is kind of different. I want to configure event handlers on NCPA.

Starting of Service when it goes down is not my exact requirement, but for other reasons where any application has a dependency of a service and it might need a service restart.

Here is a document outlining the procedure

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... -nrpe.html

That link has instructions for NRPE and NSClient++. Is there a similar document for NCPA?

Refer to the documentation for the NCPA plugins endpoint:
https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/help/2.0/ap ... es-plugins

Basically, you store the script (such as one that restarts a service) in the plugin_path and call it via the plugins endpoint:
Or as a check_ncpa command:

Thanks @mcapra this is exactly how to do it.

Perfect. Thank You @mcapra

I created a command like below and selected it as Event handler and it worked..
