Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

Hope you are doing well !!!!

I am using Nagios Core 4.4.5 and NSClient++ to monitor my windows hosts.

Can we monitor windows event logs using NSClient++ using check_nt plugin or any other way to do so?

Thanks in advance !!!

HI Diwaka,


Doing well! Thank you.

The CheckEventLog filter is for checking the event log and can be used with check_nrpe as well.

There's a couple forum posts avaialb with specific examples that should help get your started.

Windows EventLog with NSClient

Monitoring Windows Event Logs

Let us know if you get it working.

Alternatively, our NCPA agent has Event Log monitoring built into the API.

WMIC ERROR : /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_eventid.sh: line 323: /bin/wmic: No such file or directory

Can you please help?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Diwakar,

I use check_logfiles_health for all kind of Windows Eventogs from Consol Labs. Try this, explanation at https://labs.consol.de/de/nagios/check_logfiles/.
