Hello,
Humm, this was quite interesting, is there a way to (from the plink) to
detect the status of the connection or does plink die when the
connection dies even?
Would be quite simple to add a plugin to run this from within
nsclient++, but for it to be useful you would need to be able to detect
I did not mean to add ssh client to nsclient++ but I could write a plugin
that runs plink when nsclient++ starts and makes sure plink is running,
but maybe NSCA is probably a better solution (which nsclient++ already has
:)

NSCLient++ offers NRPE
might be worth to mention that NSClient++ also offers NSClient and NSCA
(with real encryption)...
// MickeM
NC_NEt -(also a windows plugin that uses check_NT) offers NSCA
Good Luck,

Hello,
A bit curious as to why you would want to:
check_nrpe ... -c checkProcState -a MaxCritCount=50 svchost.exe=started
(replace 50 and svchost.exe with your values of choice) would I think do
what you want it to.
But to answer your question nsclient++ will only return each process once
so
* in the socket handling (hopefully it actually works now)
* Some new performance counters as well as slightly better handling (has
been fixed even better in next version)
...
PS.
Since I am about to start sketching on the 0.4.0 version feature
requests are always nice :)

Hello,
Counternames with : are broken this is bug that will hopefully be fixed
in the next version. A workaround is to use an alias which IIRC might
work
is to add an alias (which is what causes the problem) like so:
dummyalias:\\SQLServer:Databases(_Total)\\Data File(s) Size (KB),SQL
Server
in the NSCP
config (something about dangerous meta chars, as well as allow options
IIRC)
(I can look it up for you if you want, but am at work now, so have to
pretend I am working :)

Hi,
I hope someone could help...
I'm trying to use Nagios and the check_nrpe plugins to restart a Visual
Basic program if it's down.
The Nagios server is a Linux box (Centos 5.1).
check_nrpe launchs a vbs script on a Windows 2000 server which is the same
machine where the VB
the standard-stuff is integrated. NRPE is much
more configuration cost than NSCA/nsclient++, because you can't just
aptitude install them. :-)
NSClient++ can do the exact same things (and a lot more) via NRPE then
via NSClient with the same (or about the same) amount of configuration...
// Michael
My guess would be that simplest way to do this would be to use one of
the windows agents and poll the various performance counters for the
network, another option would be to go with WMI.

Sort of...
by default the payload is 1024 characters (including the command) so

You can extend this by recompiling NRPE (server and client9 and toon has a

I am currently reviewing Learning Nagios 3,0 and I would say it is not

There are plans to update the rendering engine (fancy word) in a future
version but if you want I could add an option to includ exact size or
something like that and/or add a dot (if nagios allowes this).
Open up a ticket at nsclient.org and I shall see if I can have it in the
up coming 0.3.6
Best way to debug this is:
1, runt: NSClient++ /test (after stopping the service) and see what happends.
2, enable debug logging and check the nsc.log file.

Hello,
I am guessing you are a bit confused.
NSClient++ does not use .net (nor require it) perhaps you are thinking
of NC_Net?
(also NSClient++ version are along the lines of 0.3.6 or some such, I
dont want to bloat the version numbers so I tend to increase them
sparingly :)

I think by usage he did not mean usage but *usage* :)
As in how much the swap area i used (having 8Gb swap which is allocated
but not used wont matter much).
Where as in a system who is spending time writing/reading from/to the
swap area performance will degrade considerably.

Nagios itself can forward to other collectors.
From what I have gathered this is pretty time and CPU consuming so
another option would be to split off the data outside Nagios.

Hello,
Just a quick clarification it is not just you who prefer check_nrpe it
it is infact the prefered way to interact with NSClient++. check_nt is
mainly for legacy support only.
Most of the newer features will not be available via check_nt.
