בנושא: Few questions (monitoring time, specific service , event log).

[Anthony Montibello]

You can always try NC_Net.
IT offers remote configuration via Check_nc_net (compatible replacement for
check_nt)
it also offers NSCA.

However if you do not need Passive checks,
Check_nt should be able to test services
for the major Windows plugins. (NC_net, NSClient++,pNSClient, Opsys??)

The Nagios v3 manual lays out the basics on configuring Nagios for use with
check_nt.
IF using Passive checks typically all involved Hosts need to be configured
as well as the Nagios Server.
When using check_nt you have access to several things without any aditional
configuraiton on the Windows Host.
NC_Net offers several more commands through check_nc_Net without any
aditional configuration of the Windows Host.
