Dear All, Thanks for all your feedback on this issue. Yves - I think that NSClient is a great product and is doing maybe 70% of what we actually need, but it would be great to go the full distance and get the performance counters working so we can measure paging file usage etc. Unfortunately I am not much of a UNIX coder, but would love to try and help in any way possible.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I’m also fully aware than there are some painful issues with NSClient. As this tool is still very much used, I’ll try to bring it to a new level of reliability, maybe using another technology... If someone can give me some help on the Unix plug in part, we could save some time in the development ... I’ll do my best to get it very soon!

"reliable" might be a bit of a strong word. It is working for the most part but there are difficulties: Sometimes a reboot results in nsclient losing use of the port to another application A lot of memory (>4G) can be a problem. Some versions (1.7.0 or so) are dirty and leave a ton of messages in the event log ... that being said, aside from SNMP, it is the only way to get the information and the problems can be avoided/ignored/worked around. It would be great if someone had the time to clean it up and finish a great idea. Just my 2cents (keep the change), dean -----Original Message----- From: Matthew.Quinney@hollandandholland.com [mailto:Matthew.Quinney@hollandandholland.com] Sent: April 23, 2003 1:28 PM To: Schindewolf, Stefan, Infraserv-Hoechst/DE Cc: 'nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net'; nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net; 'nagiosplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net'; 'rubiyz1047@swyz.com' Subject: [Nagios-users] NSClient Dear All, On the subject of Nsclient and monitoring Windows servers I was wondering if anybody has got Nsclient monitoring Windows 2000 SP3 performance monitors reliably. We are using Nagios V1.0 and Plugins 1.3.0. If anybody is then please let me know - then I can assume I am doing something wrong. I accept that you can install other SNMP counters etc, but I am trying to make network monitoring as easy as possible - with as fewer clients installed on servers. I have included a sample check command below. I'd be greateful of any help !! Thanks Matthew define command{ command_name check_nt_pagingfile command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l "\\Paging File(_Total)\\% Usage","Paging file usage is %.2f %%" -w 70 -c 80 } _____________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for viruses by the uuNet Internet Managed Scanning Service - powered by MessageLabs.
