Nagios monitoring windows services

[HMCTech]

I have been using nagios to monitor only what comes with the install such as disk space, cpu usage and so on. No other addins or such.

 

How would I ask magios to check the status of certain services like SQL Server service, RPC & any other that is in teh computers services

Details on how to do it can be found here: Monitoring Windows Machines

 

But in essence, with nsclient++ client installed on the windows server, and it set up as per usual in the nagios config files, you add service definitions such as

 

define service{
use			generic-service
host_name			winserver
service_description	W3SVC
check_command		check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l W3SVC
}

 

Which would check the http service on that server.

Ive got my nagios monitoring for specific running programs as well as services so for example it monitors the clickview server for clickviewlibrary.exe and stuff

 

Can post configs on Weds if required (bank holiday tomorrow.. off to the beach)

That would be great because I dont know how to customize anything above the standard

Are you able to send the configs for clickview etc ?
