Windows monitoring - Going where no man has gone before... You have just spent 3 hours fixing the up monitoring of the multiport memory on the 11/780s making that the last node of the Vax beowulf cluster when the boss comes blustering in with his usual nonsense. "The mail is not working" he blurts out as if you would be interested. "Well what did I tell you" you retort slyly "thats what happens when you buy /windows servers/."
As you crawl out from the service hatch, to see what the boss is on about, you notice a faint burning smell and, to your great satisfaction, that the annoying blinking red error light has finally stopped on the exchange server...
Maybe, just maybe you think it is time to change all this?
This workshop will give you a hands-on introduction on how to use
NSClient++ to monitor your windows servers from Nagios (or whatever
monitoring solution you prefer). We will start off by installing
NSClient++ so the only prerequisite is a w32-based laptop (or quite
possibly a virtual machine running on your local beowulf cluster). After
installing NSClient++ we will learn how to use it to monitor some common
things via NRPE (and if there is interest NSCA). I will also go over the
security implications to using NSClient++ and what you can do to keep
your windows machines secure.
