Hi Joel,

I would like to use nagios for checking systems in the way i already do it with linux. there is a check_plugin for linux boxes which we are using, you can see it here if you want: http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-hpasm
(see check_hpasm.pl file in the plugins directory).

We plan to use something similar for the windows servers running on the proliant's.
What we can do is using snmp for checking instead, but we would like the cli more.

Hi,

I'm not aware of Nagios analogues for windows.

The only CLI method I can think of is the use of Windows management instrumentation command line(WMIC).

You will need to install the WBEM Providers to get acces to ProLiant specific information, beside the standard :

EnvOID=1005&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-7a41e219f422484382008abb3a

The different parameters, which health you want to check are described here:

Here 2 documents where you can find very useful info regarding WMI data colection:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01448030/c01448030.pdf

from the 1st doc - the user guide , check page 32 , there are some scripting examples.

Not sure if this will help you, but no other thing I know about...
