You could have the server fire a script during reboots that submits a check result to nagios via NSCA. It might be a little more elaborate than what you were looking for, but it will always catch a reboot even when a host check misses it. -Aaron Rodrick Brown wrote: > When one of my hosts reboo

Re: [Nagios-users] Using NRPE-NT to check WMI on Windows Server

Each WIndows element and WMI stuff require different permissions, When using WMI, you have access to do almost anything, for example when query for users WMI contacts the primary domain controler and waits for its results of all users in the Domamin. Naturally this requires higher permissions tha

[Nagios-users] Hosts reboots too fast for check_alive notification

When one of my hosts reboots I'm never notified about the outage. Currently I'm using a custom script S99bootnotify to alert me when a host comes online, is there any way to shorten the polling for check_alive? I find it strange that a host could reboot and nagios not detect that outage. Than

[Nagios-users] Using NRPE-NT to check WMI on Windows Server

Question for the Window's gurus out there. I'm not really a 'windows guy' and don't have access to the Windows servers that I've been asked to monitor. Therefore, I'm using the NRPE VBScript setup developed by Groundwork to monitor some Windows servers via WMI. The NRPE-NT service runs on one bo

Hi everybody, has anyone of you ever tried to benchmark NRPE and NSCA performance? It's acknowledged that passive checks (NSCA) move the load from Nagios server to monitored machines, so from a Nagios point of view they need less resources. But how much less? I'm trying to design a distributed mo
