wmi smtp
Windows SMTP Server (via WMI)
Description
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 Monitoring 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_nrpe, check_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 Importing Profiles.
Services Configuration
For plugin details you can run the service help command from within the nagios container. For example: Get to the nagios container from the gw8
directory: docker-compose exec -u 1000 nagios bash
, then to the libexec directory: cd /usr/local/nagios/libexec
, and enter a service help command e.g., ./check_snmp --help
to receive help content.
