Where to find More NCPA Nagios Checks

Hi. I recentlty installed NCPA to monitor my Windows servers. I was wondering if there exist more NCPA Nagios checks? So far NCPA is monitoring CPU, memory, and process count. I've searched online and surprisingly I didn't find any NCPA checks.

For example, I would like to use a NCPA check to monitor our Windows server RAID, basic network connectivity, PING, SSH, HTTP, and etc...
Does more NCPA checks exist? Or NCPA only offers the default check you find on nagios NCPA website?

If there exist more NCPA checks, any suggestions where to find them?

Welcome back! @ep7network,

To find more checks using NCPA, the easiest way is to access to Web GUI for NCPA and use the API.
https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/getting-sta ... ng-the-gui

Here is the help documentation, which has a lot of information on NCPA itself.
https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/help.php

Using Nagios plugins with NCPA is the best way to get the checks you want. Here's an example

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py -H 192.168.x.x -t '<your token>' -M 'plugins/check_ssh/-H 192.168.x.x'
Let us know how this goes!
