New to Nagios - Watching Services

[K-Dawg]

Hi,

I am very new to Nagios but am trying to convince my company that Nagios is
the way to go instead of our current monitoring application that we pay a
lot for and is VERY basic.  I have a series of items that I need to get
Nagios to do so I am excited to be learning it and will probably frequent
this list.

To start with, how do I specify to watch a service in Windows?  For example,
I want to watch the Backup Exec remote agent on a series of servers and be
paged if for some reason it is not started.  Do I need an add on for this or
can I simply specify it in the Windows Cfg file?

Thanks.

Kevin
