Good day,

Is there any plugins for Nagios xi to monitor Windows/Linux system files modifications?
There is some plugins available at Nagios exchange but there are more into monitor file age, file increase etc.

Windows files need to be monitored:
C:\:
– autoexec.bat
– boot.ini
– config.sys

Linux machines:
Monitor permissions, access, modification, time and the content of all files (not logs and cache files) in the following folders:
– /bin
– /sbin
– /usr/sbin
– /usr/bin.
– /usr/local/bin
– /usr/local/sbin
– /opt/bin
– /opt/sbin
– /lib
– /usr/lib
– /usr/local/lib
– /lib64
– /usr/lib64
– /root, /etc

There is one plugin on the Exchange called check_filechange.py.

You may want to have a look at the File Modified section of the following linked document for other options.
NAGIOS FILE CHECKS

You could also use check_file_age, check_nrpe, or check_wmi_plus.pl. All available plugins should be located in /usr/local/nagios/libexec. :)
