Thanks to Tom DeBlende who steered me in the right direction. You can use plink (part of putty) to dump commands to the linux box using ssh.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The script Tom refers to below is a Citrix checking VB script. It and plink are attached. What Tom's script does is pull the data from a registry value, formulate a proper nagios command enclosed in a proper linux command which sends the nagios command to the external command file via a plink command.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Hope that helps,<o:p></o:p> Dean<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Dear Dean,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> First of all: please find attached the zip file that contains:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 1) The script (you will have to change some variables in the beginning <o:p></o:p> of the script).<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 2) The plink.exe file used to make the SSH connection to the Nagios <o:p></o:p> server.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Running this as a scheduled task is a pain to set up, as you will have <o:p></o:p> to make sure that the hostkey is in place in the registry in the <o:p></o:p> default user profile <o:p></o:p> [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys]. In other <o:p></o:p> words, you will have to log in with the user account that you will use <o:p></o:p> to run the scheduled task, run plink.exe once to connect to the Nagios <o:p></o:p> server, and then copy its registry key to the location shown above.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Don't forget to create the passive service on the Nagios setup with <o:p></o:p> the exact same service name. Might be best to "tail -f" the external <o:p></o:p> command file first to see what's arriving though :-)<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> -----Original Message----- From: Wiesner, Thomas [mailto:Thomas.Wiesner@dbla.com] Sent: <st1:date Month="5" Day="8" Year="2003">May 8, 2003</st1:date> <st1:time Hour="7" Minute="9">7:09 AM</st1:time> To: 'nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: [Nagios-users] Passive servicecheck on NT <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Hi all,<o:p></o:p> I evaluate the current features of Nagios and have one simple question. I know the possibility of passive service checks on a Unix host, but is it also possible to implement a passive service check on a Windows host?<o:p></o:p> What I need is in interface for my scripts on the Microsoft world to transfer and display the result to the Nagios host.<o:p></o:p> Thanks for your help.<o:p></o:p> Thomas <o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
