Hi,

I have installed nagios on one of the system running redhat. Our network 
has around 25-30 server incluing windows and other network devices such 
as switches etc.


Please let me know if we can monitor the server (Including windows) 
without installing any client on the remote host.


hello,

Your routers and switches most probably support SNMP which you can use 
to monitor your devices. It is just a matter of configuration.


For MS Windows, you will need the SNMP Service :

You can also take a look at nsca. It does require you to install and run a
daemon on the nagios server, but atleast you don't need to worry about
running daemons on the clients.
You'll need to schedule the checks on the clients via cron or something
else.

That depends on your definition of client. Without any sort of program
answering questions at all you won't be able to monitor anything but
network services.

NRPE, SNMP, NSClient, NSClient++, NC.NET, ssh or some other means of
accessing the server is necessary to get disk-usage and other data
that servers do not publicly advertise. It's up to you to pick your
poison.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.

Only for things that are visible from the network (i.e. web services,  
dns services, pinging the host, etc). If you're wanting to know things  
like disk usage, cpu utilization and things like that, some kind of  
agent is needed whether that be nsclient++, SNMP, WMI, etc...

http://www.nagiosexchange.org is a good resource for WMI and SNMP  
plugins.

Depends what you want to monitor about them. If you simply want to find 
out if they are up and running, check_ping should work very well. You 
can also use SNMP, WMI and other mechanisms that allow a degree of 
agentless monitoring.

I think it is not possible with nagios. you need to install nagios-plugins
or nrpe on the remote clients end.
