Monitoring Active Directory

[Lane Williams]

You can also use the ldapsearch command from your linux based nagios
server to query your active directory server. Same as below, use your
favorite scripting language to generate the check.

Hey folks,

  I just started a new job, and my immediate task is to build a
new Nagios system for them.  I love my new job...  :)

	  They would like to monitor Active Directory OUs, so that
Nagios
	alerts if any of a certain group of OUs are
moved/renamed/deleted.
	Apparently, this happens every so often due to the number of
	admins that need rights to the AD structure.
	
	  So.  I checked on the exchange site and did some googling, but
	have not found any community plugins that will allow me to
specify
	an OU and alert if it's not present.


I do not think there is something like that, but it is not difficult to
make your own. Use dsquery to see if an ou, user or group exists, write
your own plugin and execute it with nrpe. You can use your favorite
scripting language for this.
