The plugin calls a .NET-enabled webserver, where a series of specially-crafted asp / vb scripts (included with the plugin) are located. The .NET webserver then performs the queries on behalf of the plugin, and returns the results.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> So while it does not require a client to be installed on each machine, it does require additional software to be installed on a system which is not the Nagios box. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work for me either. I basically cannot modify any machine except the Nagios box.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Good idea, though!<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> Daniel Maher<o:p></o:p> System Engineer<o:p></o:p> ACE TECHNOLOGY INC.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </div> From: nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Bill Akins Sent: June 1, 2005 12:39 PM To: Daniel maher; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] monitor memory usage on w2k/2k3 server?<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> <div> You may want to look at Nagios WSC (<a href="http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Communication.41.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5bp_view%5d=137">http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Communication.41.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=137</a>) Requires no client.

I have tried Xavier Dusart’s check_mem_2k.pl plugin, as well as Manubulon’s check_snmp_storage.pl. Dusart’s plugin fails entirely, while Manubulon’s only appears to pull out the virtual memory, not the physical RAM. What makes this tricky (I suppose), is that I cannot install any agents on the Windows servers; this means no NSClient or any such thing.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Does anybody have any ideas?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks!<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Daniel Maher<o:p></o:p> System Engineer<o:p></o:p> ACE TECHNOLOGY INC.<o:p></o:p> 100, boul.
