get_rdp_info

Project Notes

This plugin is designed to be run by NSClient++ on the host you want to check. It is not designed to allow you to check a remote host, this is why there is no option to specify the host name. Session Information: The plugin will report how many RDP sessions are Active, Idle or Disconnected. This is a way to look at daily trends and understand how loaded your servers are. RDP Bytes: This plugin will report the total RDP Input and Output bytes of all sessions. Once again this is a way to look at daily trends and understand how much RDP traffic is generated by your RDP servers. For example users may be transferring files via the RDP protocol, this will be highlighted when looking at the historical data. Configuring Nagios and NSClient++ Nagios: The following shows you how to configure your Command AND Service definitions. Command Definition: define command { command_name get_rdp_info command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -t 30 -c get_rdp_info } Service Definition: define service { host_name your_host service_description RDP Info check_command get_rdp_info max_check_attempts 3 check_interval 3 retry_interval 3 register 1 } NSClient++ Version 0.3.x Copy the plugin to the scripts directory. Add the following to the [External Scripts] section in NSC.ini: get_rdp_info=cscript.exe //T:30 //NoLogo scriptsget_rdp_info.vbs Nagios PNP Performance Graph Template A custom pnp performance graph template has been provided, this generates two seperate performance graphs. The file must be placed into the pnp/templates directory on your Nagios host. I have only tested this on Nagios XI and the default location on a Nagios XI host is /usr/local/nagios/share/pnp/templates. NOTE: The name of the file MUST match the name of the Command Definition command_name. In the example above it is called get_rdp_info and hence this is why the template is called get_rdp_info.php.

This works if you are using this plugin as a passive check.
