Nagios monitoring windows machines

[Anthony Montibello]

Hi Christy

Asside from monitoring,

A quick review of the Event log sometimes reveals a lot about particular
issues, just look for the time of the startup events then manually read
through events that occured just prior to that,

Also you can always try using NC_NEt, for an easy to use WIndows plugin.
it uses the check_nt.c plugin to monitor services and other standard things
It also has its own replacement of check_nt called check_nc_net to handle
more checks,
like WMI queries, Event Log queries, and more.  THe install process is a msi
installer just double click and start the service, and the configuration
files are documented internally.
