Nagios forward Check through Windows Machine

[Páll Guðjón Sigurðsson]

Check out mod_gearman for this scenario.

You man in the middle machine (which will be linux, not windows) makes an outbound connection to the nagios server and runs all checks that are meant for the far end hosts.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios forward Check through Windows Machine


Hi All, 
I am currently monitoring hundreds of hosts and I have a couple of hosts which are behind VPN's and the VPN clients are only Windows Compatible and to be able to check certain services. 

This is my ideal scenario 


NAGIOS (UNIX) ----> Windows Machine (Connected to VPN through X client) -----> Far End Host (Windows Machine) 

I want to be able to for example check RDP, PING, SNMP etc.. on the "Far End Host" and currently unable to connect to the VPN as per client restrictions and was wondering how other members have overcome this obstacle. 

I was possibly thinking of setting up a Proxy but it would be great to find out more on working solutions. 

Thanks again.
