Installing Nagios Agent on Windows
http://www.nagios.org or http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Windows.49.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1%5Bp_view%5D=64
Nagios is an open source monitoring tool which works on several platforms including windows and linux. I’ve deployed on windows 2003, here’s an example script:
- c:
- cd\progra~1
- md nagios
- robocopy /s \\buildserver\share c:\progra~1\nagios
- cd nagios
- nrpe_nt -i -n -c nrpe.cfg
- net start nrpe_nt
This script does the following: go to C:\program files directory, create nagios directory, copy the config files, run the service install and start the service.
Nagios might be something you consider if you are scaling up your blade infrastructure and the cost of the monitoring tools against the benefit is becoming an issue for debate. Think about which blades you need monitored and consider that you might not need everything monitored, just those key blades/servers within your solution.

you should change the title to Installing Nagios Agent on Windows.
Thanks Mark, I’ve renamed it, appreciate your comments.
NRPE_NT appears to work straight out of the box if you have a running Linux Nagios installation – the NRPE service works just like the linux version. I tried NSClient++ and found it a pain in the arse to setup… now to write some plugins in “C” to pull back the stuff I really want.
i follow ur method , but , i didn’t understant : we have two packages
1- nagios plugin
2- nrpe
is it right ?
this line : robocopy /s \\buildserver\share c:\progra~1\nagios
should copy ?? into the nagios dir (which i created)
