Windows Log Monitoring (Time)

[FrancisNagios]

HI all,

How to monitor an alert on a windows 2003 server if a LOG is not updated in X minutes with the nagios agent installed on the windows server in Nagios XI?

I have tried to search for documentation for this procedure without success.
I think it may be possible with check_log or check_logfile or via command check_nrpe.

Edit:
I found this command (check_files via NSClient++ ): https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/f ... s-783.html
In the forum I have now found this post: https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... es#p322913

If it is with the above command, what are the steps to follow?

Thank You!!!!
Best Regards
Francis

From that KB article it lists this:

Make Sure Files Exists That Were Modified In The Last Two Hours

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H 10.25.11.3 -c check_files -a path='E:\\ServerFolders\\NoBackup\\Junk' pattern=*.* 'filter= written > -2h' 'crit= count < 1' 'empty-state=critical' 'empty-syntax=${status}: No files found'

Do you have NSClient++ installed on the system? If so, which version? (you can find it listed next to the program in add/remove programs in the control panel of the windows system)

Code: Select all

./check_nrpe -H 10.25.11.3 -c check_files -a path='E:\\ServerFolders\\NoBackup\\Junk' pattern=yourfilename.ext 'filter= written > -5m' 'crit= count < 1' 'empty-state=critical' 'empty-syntax=${status}: No files found'

Attach your nsclient.ini or NSC.ini from the remote windows system if the above command isn't working for you.

Thank you very much for the information, as soon as the client can prove it but it is the information that I needed.

No problem, let us know if you have any issues, if you do, attach your nsclient.ini file.
