NRPE is a Unix client for executing plugins on remote hosts. It is distributed both as rpm-packages and as portable source-code and compiles on AIX, HP-UX 11, HP-UX 10, GNU/Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Windows (using Cygwin), IRIX, SCO Unix, OpenVMS, MacOSX, Solaris and SunOS. NRPE is used in combination with a set of local plugins.
Using op5 Monitor in combination with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) system administrators can query, change, and monitor configuration settings on desktops and servers in their IT environment.
In this howto we will add a service looking for accounts that are enabled in Windows and have their password set to never expire. The monitoring is made by using check_nrpe with the agent NSClient++ using CheckWMI.
To get a more accurate picture of the availability of your IT-services, it's a good idea to test the IT-services over the network-link that serves your centralized IT-services to other geographic locations.
This how-to paper will describe how to perform the most basic test, a test that checks the average roundtrip-time and measures packet loss using check_ping. The test will be performed by a remote MS Windows server and called via check_nrpe and NSClient++. This test/check/service can then be added to a service group that you can use when generating SLA-reports.
