Nagios – How to Monitor Windows Host

How do I use Nagios to monitor Windows clients? Are there any alternative solutions available?

Best Answer

Install the nsclient++ agent on windows, then configure your RHEL5 nagios config file accordingly.

There may be other windows nagios agents, or you can configure nagios to use remote probes with SNMP, but I've used nsclient++ and it works well.
