Nagios Support Forum

I'm interested in migrating all of our monitored Windows hosts from NSClient++ to Nagios NCPA. One feature I like is the OS check to quickly see what versions of Windows we have in our environment. One aspect I discovered from the NCPA is that the OS check only return the build number. For me at least, I can't quickly determine what Windows version is present from the build number alone. Can this check be updated in a future NCPA release to return the OS version such as Windows Server 2008R2 etc. along with the build number? Thanks.

I filed an internal feature request for adding this functionality. Please keep in mind that the decision to implement the enhancement is at the sole discretion of our development team. Thank you!

Thank you very much.

Update: For the time being, you could try setting up a custom script that can somehow utilize both checks:
and in order to get "more details" on the OS.

That is the data I am looking for. I did not see that in the check library located here:

Ideally I would like the information from the two checks provided combined into one if you could pass that along to the development team. Thanks again.

I passed your request along to the dev team. Thank you!
