Windows SMTP Server (via WMI)
Description
This service profile monitors a SMTP server on a Windows server using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) is used by the Nagios server to communicate with the WMI proxy server. This proxy server queries the monitored Windows server for measurements and status using WMI. Additionally, you may want to refer to the WMI documentation. This project consists of a collection of script monitors (.vbs for starters) that use the Microsoft .Net Framework and WMI to retrieve performance data from remote Windows hosts without the need for agents on the remote hosts. The nrpe.cfg file on the Windows server maps commands issued by the GroundWork server to scripts in the c:\nrpe_nt directory. Commands issued by this profile are installed with this package. If new NRPE commands are added, this file must be modified. The WMI proxy server must be in the same domain as target monitored Windows server, and must have administrator rights.
Profile package
This package includes the following files:
- Profile definition:
service-profile-wmi-smtp.xml - Plugin scripts (installed on the GroundWork server):
check_nrpeandcheck_smtp - WMI script (installed on the WMI Proxy server):
nrpe_nt.zip
Installation
GroundWork Monitor includes many monitoring profiles for a variety of devices, systems and applications. Some profiles are pre-imported on a new GroundWork installation and others are distributed with the product. The configuration tool is used to import updated profiles and profiles that require additional setup, services can also be imported. See How to manage host and service profiles.
Services configuration
For plugin details, in the nagios container run the service help command. For example: nagios@9848baed1779:/usr/local/nagios/libexec$ ./check_snmp --help
