Hi,

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'm also fully aware than there are some
painful issues with NSClient. As this tool is still very much used, I'll
try to bring it to a new level of reliability, maybe using another
technology...

 

If someone can give me some help on the Unix plug in part, we could save
some time in the development ...

I'll do my best to get it very soon!

 

Best regards,

Yves

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

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
