Windows host lost

#1

I add one windows host.
and I check the configure file, 3 hosts there.
But I only find two linux servers in the Host Detail.
In the “Status Summary For All Host Groups”, I can see the windows host.
But the host status is “No matching hosts” and service status is “No matching services”.
What wrong with it?

#2

Can you see the server at the “Service Detail”?
I think you need to create a check for this server, I suggest you try to add the server at the check_ping command. If it is good, you should see this server at the “service detail”, now with at least a ping status.

Did you not only add a service group in stead of a host???

Add a windows host:
On the windows machine i assume you have nrpe_nt installed and port 5666/tcp is open?
Then in your nrpe\bin folder on the windows machine you have a file (nrpe.cfg) like this:

#VOORBEELD WINDOWS C:\NRPE\BIN\NRPE.CFG

server_port=5666
allowed_hosts=192.168.1.xx
dont_blame_nrpe=1
debug=1
command_timeout=30

COMMAND DEFINITIONS

command[nt_check_disk_c]=C:\nrpe\bin\diskspace_nrpe_nt.exe c: 70 90
command[nt_check_disk_d]=C:\nrpe\bin\diskspace_nrpe_nt.exe d: 70 90
command[nt_check_disk_e]=C:\nrpe\bin\diskspace_nrpe_nt.exe e: 70 90
command[nt_cpuload]=C:\nrpe\bin\cpuload_nrpe_nt.exe 50 80
command[nt_memload]=C:\nrpe\bin\memload_nrpe_nt.exe 70 90
command[nt_system]=C:\nrpe\bin\service_nrpe_nt.exe “System”

And on your nagios server you should have a template (also added in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg) with:

  1. a hostgroup & (windows) host:

aTemplate.cfg

define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name think_something
alias xxxx
members your_windows_machine_name
}

define host{
use generic-server
host_name your windows hostname
alias Windows machine
address 192.168.1.xxx
parents esx01 (optioneel)
}

  1. a service check like (let’s say check your windows c disk):

in a template.cfg:

define service{
use windows-service
host_name your_windows_machine
service_description C_Disk
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 2
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 240
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command check_nrpe!nt_check_disk_c
}

I should check or you have at least al that’s above here, this should work.
Good luck.
