@Claudio :) exactly.. thanks..


What you might find more useful is not to have to install NSClient++ on 
any servers at all, nor to rely on a proxy NSClient++, nor to use NRPE.


All of the checks that have been listed so far can be done in a 
client-less manner using check_wmi_plus

www.edcint.co.nz/checkwmiplus

The site lists the Nagios command definitions you need.
You can check all the services in a single check

Here's a manually run example:
/opt/nagios/bin/plugins/check_wmi_plus.pl -H win2008r2a -m checkservice 
-u USER -p PASS -a auto
OK - Found 54 Services(s), 51 OK and 3 with problems. 'Shell Hardware 
Detection' (ShellHWDetection) is Stopped, 'Software Protection' (sppsvc) 
is Stopped, 'Windows Licensing Monitoring Service' (WLMS) is 
Stopped.|'Total Service Count'=54; 'Service Count OK State'=51; 'Service 
Count Problem State'=3;

Re: [Nagios-users] Fwd: How to monitor specific windows services using nsclient++

2011-06-08 Thread Daniel Ceola 
Hi,

I use NSClient++ to monitor a number of services on our servers here.  For 
example, DNS Server, DHCP Server, IIS, Exchange store, and some services for 
line of business apps.

The command definition I use is:
# 'check_nt' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_nt
command_line$USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v $ARG1$ 
$ARG2$
}


Service definition:
#dhcp server
define service{
use generic-service
host_name   servername
service_description DHCP Server
check_command   check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l dhcpserver
}
# Exchange Store service
define service{
use generic-service
host_name   exchangeserver
service_description Exchange Store Service
check_command   check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l MSExchangeIS
}

From what I have read, you need to use the service name that you would use if 
starting/stopping the service from a command line, rather than the display 
name from the services.msc snapin.  You can easily find the service name by 
running sc query at command prompt from the server (or by looking it up in 
the system registry)


Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Daniel Ceola

Hi Claudio,

Thanks...This is what i am looking for exactly..

- Standard Services (lanmanserver, .. whatever you want)

can you give me the exact command syntax that to be written in
commands.cfg/windows.cfg

something like this...


define service{
use generic-service
host_name   winserver
service_description W3SVC
check_command   check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l W3SVC
}

Also i would like to get e-mail notification if this particular
service gets down or stopped someways..

 Hi Manish,

 I personally monitor the following things on a Windows host:

 - CPU
 - Memory
 - Disk (all Partitions)
 - Standard Services (lanmanserver, .. whatever you want)
 - Specific Services (e.g. for DNS Server 'dns', DHCP Server)

 For the services you will find the names of the services in Manage Computer
 - Services. Depending on what your machine is doing, you should create a
 list for each server, which services to monitor.

Well this is exactly what you need, you already wrote it. Just replace the
Servicename by the service you want to check, eg lanmanserver:

define service{
use generic-service
host_name   winserver
service_description Server Services
check_command   check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l lanmanserver
}


or for several services at the same time:

define service{
use generic-service
host_name   winserver
service_description Server Services
check_command   check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l
lanmanserver, dnsserver
}
