Hi Team,
We want to configure IO monitoring in Nagios XI for Windows servers. We have already installed NCPA agent on Windows servers and we are monitoring other OS related parameters.
Can you please help me with suitable plugin for IO monitoring.

I found these:

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... at/details
NCPA can also monitor these physical disk values:
Code: Select all
./check_ncpa.py -H localhost -t '<your token>' -M 'disk/physical/PhysicalDrive0/read_time'
./check_ncpa.py -H localhost -t '<your token>' -M 'disk/physical/PhysicalDrive0/read_bytes'
./check_ncpa.py -H localhost -t '<your token>' -M 'disk/physical/PhysicalDrive0/write_count'
./check_ncpa.py -H localhost -t '<your token>' -M 'disk/physical/PhysicalDrive0/write_time'
./check_ncpa.py -H localhost -t '<your token>' -M 'disk/physical/PhysicalDrive0/write_bytes'
./check_ncpa.py -H localhost -t '<your token>' -M 'disk/physical/PhysicalDrive0/read_count'

Hello,
Thank you for reply!!
I am getting the output for PhysicalDrive0. So, similarly I can get the output for other drives too right?

Hi,
Yes, assuming you have more than one drive.
Another way to know what physical disk you have is to run the below command on your XI prompt:
Code: Select all
curl -k -v "https://x.x.x.x:5693/api/disk/physical/?token=<yourToken>"

Hello,
I am aware how to configure service in Nagios.
But this is a direct command with no plugins so I was confused like how to add it.
Can you guide me on the same please?

Hi,
What is your command and arguments?
I know you are using "check_napa.py".

Hi,
It is best to use NCPA "check_ncpa.py" script.
The curl command I gave you just a quick way to check your system. It does not give you any option to check or return the status like "OK" or "Critical".
From the "curl" command, you can pass what you are looking for with the "-M" option (example below):
Code: Select all
./check_ncpa.py -H localhost -t '<your token>' -M 'disk/physical/PhysicalDrive0/read_time'
