SNMP/Windows disk usage

[Yost, Karl]

1. You do not need net-snmp for the win2k servers, just install it like
you did snmp for 2k3.

2. You need to manually create an external command file in the location
specified in the error. The easiest way is to return to the dir where
your compiled nagios and run 'make install-commandmode'

Hello

Thanks indeed.
I have one windows 2000 server among the windows
servers. should I simply install snmp on this machine
(just as windows 2003?) or do I need net-snmp?

Meanwhile, this host is part of a hostgroup. I wanted
to disable the disk check for this host only but I got
this:

Sorry, but Nagios is currently not checking for
external commands, so your command will not be
committed!
Read the documentation for information on how to
enable external commands...
 
I tried to change this from nagios.cfg:
check_external_commands=1 (was 0)

but nagios failed to start.

Any idea how to disable this check for this host only?

This is what I had in the logs:

[1203927618] Error: Could not create external command
file '/usr/local/nagios2/var/rw/nagios.cmd' as named
pipe: (2) -> No such file or directory.  If this file
already exists and you are sure that another copy of
Nagios is not running, you should delete this file.
[1203927618] Bailing out due to errors encountered
while trying to initialize the external command
file... (PID=11896)


thanks
