Agent Checks


Agent Checks

Agent checks are commonly used to confirm that the agent is running and also to determine the version of the agent.

Nagios Plugins are usually executed via NRPE on the remote system.

Command:

./check_nrpe -H 10.25.13.34

Output:

NRPE v3.2.1

NCPA

NPCA includes a system module that allows you to check the agent version.

Command:

./check_ncpa.py -H 10.25.14.91 -t Str0ngT0k3n -M system/agent_version

Output:

OK: Agent_version was ['2.0.5']

NSClient++ via check_nt

NSClient++ includes a service module that can check if a service is running.

Command:

./check_nt -H 10.25.14.10 -p 12489 -s 'Str0ngP@ssw0rd' -v CLIENTVERSION

NSClient++ 0.4.4.23 2016-04-05

NSClient++ via check_nrpe

NSClient++ includes a service module that can check if a service is running.

WMI

Check WMI Plus does not include a version check as the WMI component on the Windows machine is part of the operating system.

SNMP

SNMP is part of the operating system and does not have a version check available.
