Installing NSClient++ on a Cluster
I need to install NSClient++ on a Windows 2003 2-node Cluster. I don't want to monitor any cluster stuff at this point, I just want to monitor services (start/stop). Is there any concern in just installing the client? Do I need to install on both nodes individually or can I just install to the active one? Most of the references to this I see focus on monitoring cluster services and I don't want to do that.
Re: Installing NSClient++ on a Cluster
MikeM,
If you want to monitor the the services from each node individually, the most straightforward solution would be to install NSClient on each node. Alternatively, you could install NSClient on just one node, and setup NSClient WMI checks to monitor services on the 2nd node as well as the current node. You could also use a nsclient external script to enumerate and monitor the services on the remote machine.
A 3rd option would be to just use check_wmi_plus to monitor services on both nodes without installing any NSClient++ instances.
Hope that helps,
