Hi,
would it be feasible to integrate the NAGIOS-NRPE-Protocol into Dude? Dude’s capabilities on client-monitoring are great, but most need SNMP and extensive SNMP-Querys are complex to create.
I don’t think about hard coding it into dude. It would be great if dude could be dynamically extended.
I’ll try to explain:
- Dude gets a new probe-type, which executes some selectable “.exe” with appropriate arguments
- Due checks the returnvalue of this .exe and compares with definition on probe (e.g. 0 is OK, 1 is Warning)
I’ve compiled the nagios check-nrpe in cygwin, so it can be called in windows (complete port of the source isn’t available yet)…
So a little bit ‘CreateProcess()’ and parsing the returnvalue will offer BIG possibilities!
