Nagios Support Forum

When using NagiosXI is there a known way that any software installed on a host windows server can be logged or notified as a warning or critical event. It would be very handy to know when a program has been installed to a server that is being monitored. ANY help would be greatly appreciated - Thanks

I don't see anything with a quick glance. However you certainly could monitor specific registry keys like hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall\ and its sub keys, as all properly installed applications should show in there.

OK if i chose that method how would I configure NXI to watch/monitor those reg keys?

I remember that one of our developers created a prototype check for such things, it is located here:
