if you need to restart a service in the windows, you can install the OpMon Agent downloaded from the following URL https://www.opservices.com.br/agentes . After installing the agent, create the command:
check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ 5666 -n -c service_control -a "NAME_OF_SERVICE" stop or start.

Hello everyone, I am new to Nagios and am looking for some help. I already posted this in the forum as well. I can successful get Nagios to monitor any service I need, but I can’t get it to restart. Here is my situation up to date: (from the forums)
I did make sure event handler was enabled, but the documentation refers to scripting the start up of linux services, not Windows. I figured I can create a .bat file to do a simple net start, but how does Nagios run it? Is it something like this? (example of the server service)

I got a reply:
You can use NRPE/NSClient++ and instead of using it to run remote scripts to check something, use it to restart your services. See

However still cant get NSClient to start the service. The links provided detail how to set up monitor host services. This works great. However I cannot get the NSCLient++ to actually restart the service. I edited the NSC.INI file to comment out the "check_all_services" section and have the values set to "started" however it still shows the service as stopped and it will not restart it. I am assuming there is a step I am missing in this in some config file somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am under a deadline to have this up by this weekend. Management thought this would be easier than it is and gave me two days.
Any help on what I am missing would be greatly appreciated.
