Re: [Nagios-users] nsclient, is it still an acceptable method to monitor nt
Hi NRPE NT seems to me the best way to monitor windows services. since there are alot of plug ins available at nagiosexchange and around the web. it support windows NT/2000/2003/vista. also 32 and 64 bit. And the biggest advantage it consume little resources compare to the other solutions NRPE NT http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Windows.49.0.html?tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=64 Some basic plugins http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Windows_NRPE.66.0.html?tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=62 Hope it helped Moshe Sharon http://www.centerity.com - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] nsclient, is it still an acceptable method to monitor nt
Thanks Andreas, Good Description of the differences, However, you forgot to mension NC_Net also supports NSCA for Passive checks. So in my eyes, each flavor of the current Windows Plugins offers a different set of enhancements, NSCLIENT++ has NRPE and some other enhancements NC_NET has NSCA, event logs, RunScripts,WMI,... (And supports Whitespace in Service names) OpMon - may be introducing NRPE soon? and hopefully other enhancements All three are compatible to the Check_NT from the official Plugins and should return similar results.
