well, maybe my mind is cluttered but forgive me i cnt understand; a) are you trying to configure your nagios server from a client (windows os)?
b) are you trying to configure the client(windows os)? to be check by nagios. 1. what is the os of the client? (win ( NT, 2K, or 2K3)) 2. firewall disabled but is it configured to reply to a ping command? I had this co-worker who disabled "ping reply" and it cost me a lot of aspirin (especially on a server where people ping to test for connectivity). 3. and at least tried the basic ( lan card, network cable, hub) and ughh some idiots in my office complained about not being connected when the cable was tripped by the janitor. and he couldn't even see, they we're not "physically connected" to the network and ahh blame it on the tech guy. sorry. some stress. 4. check for the port that is accessible in your nagios server. and maybe on your client if it's a server too or even if not. 5. is your NSClient the most updated version? have you read the changelog? and as the other guy suggested(forgive me man, im terrible with names i cnt rmbr unless your a girl) SNMP enabled on windows? here is why SNMP is important (partially explains what i want to say) from: http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=32 *SNMP* The good news is that NT has a lot of performance data that you can monitor. The bad news is that its difficult to do. Your best bet is probably going to be to install SNMP services on all your NT boxes. In order to expose NT performance counters for monitoring, you'll have to run the SNMP service on all servers you want to monitor. You'll also have to install any necessary performance MIBs for the services you want to monitor. I believe these can be found in the NT Resource Kit or in various server admin packages. If you've feeling extra lucky you can try to search the Microsoft site for the terms *SNMP* and *MIB* and maybe you'll find something... You can search the MRTG mailing list archives<http://www.ee.ethz.ch/%7Eslist/mrtg>for more information on configuring NT servers to expose various performance counters via SNMP. I know this has been discussed in the past, as many people are graphing various NT performance statistics using MRTG. In fact, somebody from Microsoft is actually doing it - you can find their web page at http://snmpboy.msft.net/. Once you've actually got the SNMP stuff working, you can use the check_snmp plugin to query your NT servers and generate alarms. regards, Daniel On 8/29/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi guys, > > I was trying to configure nagios server to a nagios (windows) client.
