Windows evenlog

[Gregg Strickland]

I haven't use nrpe_nt for event logs it yet, but it does have plugins for
it.  


The specific one I've found is in nrpe_nt_plugins.zip and called
eventlog_nrpe_nt.exe. 

here is the usage for it:

NRPE_NT Plugin, Eventlog
Optionally Specify which service/eventid to IGNORE when they generate
errors in the event log and how far back in time to look

usage: eventlog_nrpe_nt.exe -m minutes <-s "exluded service,..."> -i
<"exluded eventid,..."> Do not include unnecesary white space it will not be
removed
example: service_nrpe_nt.exe -m 20 -s "NRPE_NT,..." -i "7011,..."
example: service_nrpe_nt.exe -m 7200




When I run it as a test I get the following output:
C:\Program Files\nrpe_nt\plugins>eventlog_nrpe_nt -m 20
No new warning or critical messages in eventlog for last 20 mins

You would use this with the check_nrpe plugin on the nagios server with
nrpe_nt on the windows client.

You can get the nrpe_nt client and plugins here:

The specific plugin that I found was this one:

Hope that at least points you in the right direction.

pNSClient monitors many things, but the event log isn't one of them.  There
is an event log monitor available from the Nagios "Extras" page (in the
Downloads section), but I've found it to be somewhat lacking in that I can't
get it to run as a service, and the polling method doesn't seem especially
well suited to monitoring the event log, anyway.  Give it a try though, you
may have a better experience with it.
