check_nrpe & NSClient++ Help Need

[amilamydoctor]

Issue and Steps to Reproduce

Hi,

I'm new to this. I have installed and trying to config nsclient++ in my windows server 2019. I have used NRPE. So I need to change check_memory warning level to 90 and critical level to 95. Can someone please guide me to do this. from where I need to do it? Nagios server side or windows server side?

• OS and Version: Windows Server 2019
• Checking with: check_nrpe, check_nt,

Honestly it can go either way. Within the nsclient.ini file you can create an alias with pre configured monitoring options OR change the config for memory to be check_nrpe!check_mem!.

I suggest to do some testing with syntax using the nscp executable. Simply go into the NSClient++ directory in command prompt and type in the comand nscp.exe test. From there you can run the same queries NRPE calls with arguments

You can also refer to this article here, which is the same help file within nscp.exe.

Hi,

I have implemented it in the following way:

• the nsclient configuration file where NPRE is getting the commands to be executed is in the NSClient installation directory: C:\Program Files\NSClient++\nsclient.ini
• There you will find a command alias for the NRPE check you want to modify (in your case memory_check)
• if the -w (warning) and -c (critical) values are set you can change it directly and restart the nsc windows device
• if the command has only the values as parameters like $ARG1$ and so on, you will have to go in nagios server to configure the service check related to the windows server you want to check the memory and change the related parameter $ARGx$ where the -w and -c is set.

lwêt me know if that worked for you.
