Is there an ftp or web site where I can found this script and maybe some other good script which I can use to monitor our environment? Thanks for your help. Yes. 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. 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. Hope that helps, Dean Dear Dean, First of all: please find attached the zip file that contains: 1) The script (you will have to change some variables in the beginning of the script). 2) The plink.exe file used to make the SSH connection to the Nagios server. Running this as a scheduled task is a pain to set up, as you will have to make sure that the hostkey is in place in the registry in the default user profile [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys]. In other words, you will have to log in with the user account that you will use to run the scheduled task, run plink.exe once to connect to the Nagios server, and then copy its registry key to the location shown above. Don't forget to create the passive service on the Nagios setup with the exact same service name. Might be best to "tail -f" the external command file first to see what's arriving though :-) -----Original Message----- From: Wiesner, Thomas [<A HREF="mailto:Thomas.Wiesner@db">mailto:Thomas.Wiesner@db</A>...] Sent: May 8, 2003 7:09 AM To: 'nagios-users@li...' Subject: [Nagios-users] Passive servicecheck on NT Hi all, 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? What I need is in interface for my scripts on the Microsoft world to transfer and display the result to the Nagios host. Thanks for your help.
