nrpe CheckEventLog

[Tristan Drinkwater]

Hi guys,

I hope someone can help me.

I'm trying to set up Nagios to return a warning for all red error logs in both the system and application logs on a windows 2003 server.

So far no matter what I try I always get 'Eventlog Check ok' even when I know that there are some red error's showing in the log.

I've just been running this from the libexec folder so far as I what to get the syntax right before defining the service and alike.

./check_nrpe -H IP -p 5667 -c checkEventLog file=application file=system filter-eventType==error filter-generated=\<1d


Any ideas anyone?

NSclient 3.3.20 installed on windows machine.


Can someone provide a simple syntax that will at least produce something more interesting the 'ok' so I know that's it is possible? At the moment I'm thinking it's stuck at only reporting 'ok' no matter what I do.

Thanks in advance :)
