Nagios Support Forum

Good morning,

I have a server with shared folders for all the users of the company.

I wish to monitor the carp and the space available and occupied since they have size restriction.

I searched and I have not obtained information and the tests I have done in NagiosXI have not been executed.

I am attentive to your comments.

Hi @fgaadmin,

What agent are you using to monitor windows - NSClient or NCPA?

We have a check library on our knowledge base with examples for setting up folder, file and disk checks using different agents. Please look at the documentation and let me know if you have any specific questions.

Documentation
File and Folder Checks
Disk Space Checks
How to Manage Plugins in Nagios XI

review the documentation but I did not find the way to do with NRPE the folder monitoring.

Giving it a size limit and it appears with porcentage as in the disk check.

example

D:/FGD/President 26% size max 5 GB warding 80% critico 90%


It is possible to have a similar folder monitoring.

Hello @fgaadmin,

review the documentation but I did not find the way to do with NRPE the folder monitoring.

My understanding is that you are trying to monitor Windows. Is this correct?

If so, you can only use either NCPA or NSClient++ on Windows systems.

if I'm trying to monitorial windows.

And some particular folders that have a limit of space to store files.

for that reason I want to know if the folders of form cimilar like the disks can be monitorial of some form.

It has NRPE in windows.

@fgaadmin, You just want to monitor the windows folder size through NRPE, right?
If so, please:
1. Download the VBS script from here:
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... bs/details

And place it in the following folder on the windows server.

C:\Program Files\NSClient++\scripts

Add the following command to the nsclient.ini file, in the [/settings/external scripts/scripts] section.

check_foldersize = cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scripts\\check_folder_size.vbs C:\Logs 50 70

Restart the NSclient service on the windows server from the windows services menu.

On the nagios xi server run the following command to make sure the plugin is working:

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.3.145 -c check_foldersize

Where 192.168.3.145 is the IP address of the monitored windows server.

Suggested implementation is just what I need . but I have a problem when I try with some folders in the permissions.

In this event, it works correctly for me.

./check_nrpe -H 192.168.30.99 -c check_foldersize -a "c:\program files\nsclient++" 50 78
WARNING:120,7 MB


But when I try on another carp of unit D, I do not fucniona.

./check_nrpe -H 192.168.30.99 -c check_foldersize -a "c:\program files" 50 78
d:\FGA\check_folder_size.vbs(31, 3) Error de Microsoft VBScript en tiempo de ejecuci▒n: Permiso denegado


I share NRPE configuration file.


# If you want to fill this file with all available options run the following command:
# nscp settings --generate --add-defaults --load-all
# If you want to activate a module and bring in all its options use:
# nscp settings --activate-module <MODULE NAME> --add-defaults

What I need so that you can monitor the folders of Unit D: \

@fgaadmin, Looks like the VBS script doesn't have permissions to access the folder on the drive D. I'd check the permissions on the folder in drive D and compare them to the permissions of the folder in drive C. Click on the folder, select "properties" and go to the "Security" tab.

I find that they have the same permissions but it still does not work.

What else would you check?
