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.
