<div>In Responce to the original Question.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Nagios is designed to process any command that can can make it to a command console.</div>
<div>Nagions does not have anything internally to communicate with the service checks, it relies on the Plugins one chooses to configure. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The purpose of Check_nt used in conjunction with a windows client like (NC_NEt, NSCLinet++) is to enable getting data from windows to the Unix teminal for nagios to process.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you can get the data through some other means, Like NSCA, NRPE, SNMP, Windows Credentials, WHatever then feel free to do it that way. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>It may help to READ the Nagios MANUAL </div>
<div>(or if you have read the manual RE-READ IT)</div>
<div>since the Nagios 3.X manual has a chapter on Windows monitoring, </div>
<div>and other parts of the manual may also be helpful if you plan on administrating Nagios.</div>
