[Nagiosplug-devel] RE: [Nagios-users] NSClient

[Dean Bishop]

I have nsclient installed on about 50 servers.  "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

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

        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 
        }
