I already posted this in the forum as well. I can successful get Nagios to monitor any service I need, but I can’t get it to restart. Here is my situation up to date: (from the forums)<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I did make sure event handler was enabled, but the documentation refers to scripting the start up of linux services, not Windows. I figured I can create a .bat file to do a simple net start, but how does Nagios run it? Is it something like this? (example of the server service) define service{ host_name somehost service_description Server Service max_check_attempts 4 event_handler restart_server } Than for the handler command: define command{ command_name restart-httpd (This is where I am unsure. Do I give it a path to the .bat file?) Is nagios able to run this file from the host PC. In these linux script examples I am unsure if the script is on the Nagios server of the host server. Any help would be awesome. Hopefully I'm close to accurate here.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I got a reply:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> You can use NRPE/NSClient++ and instead of using it to run remote scripts to check something, use it to restart your services. See <a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html" target="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html</a> <a href="http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/" target="_blank">http://trac.nakednuns.org/nscp/</a><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> However still cant get NSClient to start the service. The links provided detail how to set up monitor host services. This works great. However I cannot get the NSCLient++ to actually restart the service. I edited the NSC.INI file to comment out the "check_all_services" section and have the values set to "started" however it still shows the service as stopped and it will not restart it. I am assuming there is a step I am missing in this in some config file somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am under a deadline to have this up by this weekend. Management thought this would be easier than it is and gave me two days.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Any help on what I am missing would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Jonathan Williams<o:p></o:p> Sr. Systems Administrator<o:p></o:p> G4S Justice Services, Inc.<o:p></o:p> Tel: 800.589.6003 ext 1308<o:p></o:p> <a href="mailto:jonathan.williams@us.g4s.com">jonathan.williams@us.g4s.com</a><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html>
