Re: [Nagios-users] What the best way to monitor Windows?

[Randal, Phil]

I use Nsclient++ and check_mk_agent, coupled with pnp4nagios

http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk.html

Getting check_mk to work the way you want takes a bit of effort, but once 
you're used to it there's no turning back.

Cheers,

Phil

NSClient++ works fine us too....

with custom commands like these you can monitor disk space usages also....which 
was one of the main requirements for us!

define service{
        use                     generic-service
        host_name               srv_storage-01
        service_description     Disk Space F Drive
        check_command           check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l f -w 80 -c 90
        }

You get a warming alert at 80% disk full and a critical alert 90%

regards
Ananth.

I've got a Nagios installation all up and running and working just fine.
Now I have to start monitoring some Windows Servers.

There are so many different plugins. What are the recommendations for doing 
this?

We have some Win Server 2003, 2008 as well as Exchange and SQL.

Thanks

NSClient++ worked fine for us.
