Nagios: Adding Windows Servers to monitor

[Dei Bertine]

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Jim. 

So far I'm not getting a successful rate on adding my Windows server in Nagios. 
Followed detailed instructions in Nagios but still getting errors. 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html

Is there an easy way to add the Windows servers in Nagios or other documentation that I can follow? 
Please kindly advise, need expertise assistance. 

Thank you!

Nagios has found an object which refers to a host called win4503, but
can't find a host definition for it anywhere in your configuration
files.

> Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service (config

This tells you where  Nagios found this problem.

It looks like you have defined a service in your windows.cfg file, but
have not created a host definition for host "win4503'.  Have a look
through the sample configuration files to see what a host definition
should look like, or see
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host

An excellent way to get started with Nagios is to read the book
"Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth.  http://nostarch.com/nagios_2e.htm

hth,

Jim
