ms exchange services monitoring

[Price, David]

James,

You have to use the actual name of service as it appears the service's property page. You are using the display name.  Here is what I have configured for our Exchange server:

# Service definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of service template to use

        host_name                       c1mail
        service_description             Exchange Services
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins
        notification_interval           1440
        notification_period             workhours
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_nt_service!MSExchangeIS,MSExchangeMGMT,MSExchangeMTA,RESvc
        } 

Hope this helps,

Hi all.

I have set up Nagios (1.2) on Red Hat 8.0. It's working fine for simple disk checks using nsclient. Now comes the fun part - checking Windows Exchange related services.

After having gone through the documentation, FAQ's and reading through Square Box's site I attempted to check the services I wanted to know about like this:

# Service definition
define service  {
        use                             generic-service ; Name of
service template to use

        host_name                       sim.testbox.net
        service_description             check_nt_service
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  nt-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        check_command                   check_nt_service!Microsoft
Exchange Information Store
        }

The related hosts.cfg and escalations.cfg are configured fine and no errors occur when I run the command:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

I am able to reload the nagios config without problems. After the service check, a service warning shows the service I am checking is unknown.

Does anyone have an idea for me to try with this?

Thanks for any and all responses.
