Good afternoon,

We currently have Nagios XI in the environment monitoring all of our systems and we use a combination of NRPE & NSClient++ agents to perform said monitoring. I see in order to set up Event Log monitoring of Windows servers, NXLog is the preferred agent.

Is there any way NSClient++ can be leveraged instead of using NXLog? I really don't want to have yet another agent that I have to install on my systems.
