It listens on the NsClient port as well as on your NRPE port (so no change need to be made in nagios if you are already using one of these).<o:p></o:p> The nice thing is that instead of running two services (nsclient and nrpe) you only need to run one service. All your NRPE commands/plugins will work with NSClient++.<o:p></o:p> NSClient++ (or NRPE) will allow you to write local monitoring scripts, such as WMI scripts. This can be very useful if you are running nagios on a Linux box, as nagios on Linux cannot query WMI directly.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Hope that helps<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Dany Allard<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <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 Roberto Raffo Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 7:10 AM To: Randal, Phil; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] NsClient vs. NRPE_nt<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> Yes, tks.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> But there are many plugins fot NRPE on<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <a href="http://www.nagiosexchange.org/NRPE_Plugins.66.0.html">http://www.nagiosexchange.org/NRPE_Plugins.66.0.html</a><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> and I think that I could use them to do many controls.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> But I could use also<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> NRPE with NSClient++ and I have for free many controls….<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> But,<o:p></o:p> What are the differences?
