I also have the windows agent running (NSClient++) on a different server. However I can't get the monitored server to show up in Nagios. I followed the Quickstart guide on Ubuntu (<a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html</a>) and the guide to monitoring Windows servers (<a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html</a>). I can verify my configuration without returning errors. After looking through the forums and archives of the mailing list, I wasn't able to find anything relating to this (though I know it's a rather generalized kind of problem).</div> <div dir="ltr"> </div> <div dir="ltr">When looking at the Nagios webpage, I can see the "Windows Servers" group, but there are no hosts underneath it. NSClient is using the local system as a user and does have access to the desktop. I am inexperienced with Ubuntu (Linux/Unix systems in general) so any and all help is greatly appreciated. However I was able to confirm that the firewall for Ubuntu was disabled.</div> <div dir="ltr"> </div> <div dir="ltr">** My windows.cfg file is:</div> <div dir="ltr"> </div> <div dir="ltr"> <div class="PlainText">############################################################################### # WINDOWS.CFG - SAMPLE CONFIG FILE FOR MONITORING A WINDOWS MACHINE # # Last Modified: 06-13-2007 # # NOTES: This config file assumes that you are using the sample configuration # files that get installed with the Nagios quickstart guide. # ############################################################################### ############################################################################### ############################################################################### # # HOST DEFINITIONS # ############################################################################### ############################################################################### # Define a host for the Windows machine we'll be monitoring # Change the host_name, alias, and address to fit your situation define host{ use windows-server ; Inherit default values from a template host_name DFS ; The name we're giving to this host alias DFS-Windows ; A longer name associated with the host address 10.70.15.9 ; IP address of the host } ############################################################################### ############################################################################### # # HOST GROUP DEFINITIONS # ############################################################################### ############################################################################### # Define a hostgroup for Windows machines # All hosts that use the windows-server template will automatically be a member of this group define hostgroup{ hostgroup_name windows-servers ; The name of the hostgroup alias Windows Servers ; Long name of the group } ############################################################################### ############################################################################### # # SERVICE DEFINITIONS # ############################################################################### ############################################################################### # Create a service for monitoring the version of NSCLient++ that is installed # Change the host_name to match the name of the host you defined above define service{ use generic-service host_name DFS service_description 0.3.8 check_command check_nt!CLIENTVERSION } # Create a service for monitoring the uptime of the server # Change the host_name to match the name of the host you defined above define service{ use generic-service host_name DFS service_description Uptime check_command check_nt!UPTIME } # Create a service for monitoring CPU load # Change the host_name to match the name of the host you defined above define service{ use generic-service host_name DFS service_description CPU Load check_command check_nt!CPULOAD!-l 5,80,90 } # Create a service for monitoring memory usage # Change the host_name to match the name of the host you defined above define service{ use generic-service host_name DFS service_description Memory Usage check_command check_nt!MEMUSE!-w 80 -c 90 } # Create a service for monitoring C:\ disk usage # Change the host_name to match the name of the host you defined above define service{ use generic-service host_name DFS service_description C:\ Drive Space check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90 } # Create a service for monitoring the W3SVC service # Change the host_name to match the name of the host you defined above define service{ use generic-service host_name DFS service_description W3SVC check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l W3SVC } # Create a service for monitoring the Explorer.exe process # Change the host_name to match the name of the host you defined above define service{ use generic-service host_name DFS service_description Explorer check_command check_nt!PROCSTATE!-d SHOWALL -l Explorer.exe } </div> <div class="PlainText"> </div> <div class="PlainText"> </div> <div class="PlainText"> </div> <div class="PlainText"> </div> <div class="PlainText"> </div> <div class="PlainText">** The NSC.ini file from the DFS machine (the server to be monitored):</div> <div class="PlainText"> </div> <div class="PlainText">[modules] NRPEListener.dll NSClientListener.dll FileLogger.dll CheckSystem.dll CheckDisk.dll CheckEventLog.dll CheckHelpers.dll ;# NSCLIENT++ MODULES ;# A list with DLLs to load at startup. ; You will need to enable some of these for NSClient++ to work. ; ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ; * * ; * N O T I C E ! ! ! - Y O U H A V E T O E D I T T H I S * ; * * ; ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
