Hi,
I recently set up nagios and have it configured to monitor the localhost. Wanted to monitor some windows servers and installed the nsclient++ on the windows server. Followed the guide nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ … ndows.html
but could not find any windows.cfg file that has the template for the windows-server. I created my own file called winhosts.cfg, but something is wrong wih the configuraion and nagios says:
Reading configuration data…
Error: Invalid max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, or notification_interval value for service ‘C:\ Drive Space’ on host 'pine’
Error: Could not register service (config file ‘/usr/local/etc/nagios/winhosts.cfg’, starting on line 49)
Could somebody point me to the missing windows.cfg file or send me the template that I need to use???, or possibly shed some light why the error is happening? I have been scratching my head 2 days on that. Thanks in advance!!!
Here is my actual winhosts.cfg file:
Generic host definition template
