How to Setup Nagios on Windows

1. Download NSClient++ 0.3.0 (nscp) and extract to c:\program files\nscp

3. Open up the config file and make sure the monitors (located at the bottom) are appropriate for the system.
   
   • You may need to add or remove disk monitors depending on how many disks/partitions the system has.
4. Open up cmd.exe and do the following:
   

   c:\program files\nscp
   nsclient++ /install
   nsclient++ /start

   1. Go to Control Panel -> Windows Firewall
   2. Click on the 'Exceptions tab'
   3. Click 'Add Port'
   4. Name: 'nscp', Port: '5666'
6. Check all of the monitors from a machine with 'check_nrpe'
