Nrpe and windows

[Maxwell,Brady]

We are currently setting up a second proxy and are going to split the
checks between them. I am not sure I like that solution but were going
to try it and see if it helps.

Brady,

You can use NSclient++ also add a few more NSclient++ proxies.
Write a wrapper script around check_nt to use multiple proxies instead
of one.

I have some questions for the group about nagios, nrpe, nrpe_nt.exe and
windows.
Some Background:
We are currently using check_nrpe to send checks to an nrpe_nt.exe which
then runs checks on about 350 windows servers and returns the output to
nagios one service at a time, a total of about 1500 checks run this way.
The servers are all one-offs and are not part of a ad auth domain.

We have have issues like "[No output available from command...]: 128" on
our "nrpe proxy". Rebooting the proxy server seems to fix this issue.
According to what I have found via google there is some speculation that
nrpe_nt.exe is not letting go of tcp ports it uses. I do not buy it.

Since nrpe_nt.exe is not a current project anymore I was thinking maybe
its time to find a new solution to check these servers.

Is anyone using a similar configuration? Does anyone know of a more
current project that can facilitate the same monitoring architecture?


Thanks
Brady
