Monitor A Service On Windows/Linux & Restart If Down

[pavankumar]

Hi,

We need to check the status of a service on Windows/Linux and restart it based on corresponding startup script.

Is there a out of box solution in NagiosXI for this requirement?

Thanks,
Pavan.

I believe you could achieve this by following the steps, outlined in our official documentation:

We are using NCPA.

Thanks

The setup is still the same for the XI side.

The only differences on the NCPA side would be for you to put the plugin in the NCPA plugins directory on the server and the restart scripts would be:
- Note: Make sure to change the <your token> part

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
    OK)
        ;;
    WARNING)
        ;;
    UNKNOWN)
        ;;
    CRITICAL)
        /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py -H "$2" -t '<your token>' -M 'plugins/restart_service.bat' -q "args=$3"
        ;;
esac
exit 0

You can test from your XI server with this:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ncpa.py -H X.X.X.X -t '<your token>' -M 'plugins/restart_service.bat' -q "args=spooler"
