  • Bash from copssh can't see any files
    Post date: Wednesday, December 28, 2016 - 11:46

    After we install the copssh v4.9.4,  we found an issue with the file access.  when we open the bash shell,  we can't see any files from that, when we run ls -l ,  we got nothing return.  no matter we cd to /home  or  /bin

    But if we just use the windows cmd and run  dir  command,  we can see those files are there.

    Not sure if it's any permission issue, the administrator ID already has full control for the ICW  folder, does anyone face the same issue before ?  Because  of this,  the open sshd service couldn't be started.

  • Error GetAccountSid in passwd file
    Post date: Tuesday, December 27, 2016 - 10:48

    The next problem was reported earlier by a colleague of mine, but was not published because of the login name, domain name and SID. I have therefore anonymized his text in the hope that you publish this version.

    We have CopSSH 5.7.0 x64 installed on a Windows 2012 R2 server. During the installation we supplied a domain account as service account. This resulted in the following entry in ICW\etc\passwd:

    accountname:unused::999:U-domain\accountname,ERROR GetAccountSid:/var/svc:/bin/false

  • using cwrsync with keys for authorization asking for password

    when we run batch file it is asking for password.

  • How to send Windows Event Logs from other servers to ELKwin?
    Post date: Tuesday, September 20, 2016 - 11:12

    Hello,

    First of all, THANK YOU for ELKwin - it's just amazing and it was running within seconds.

    I just need some time to learn about dashboards and visualizations, but I am already impressed about it.

    At this point I can see the local event logs, but how is it possible to send logs from other Windows server to my ELKwin?

    I have one server which has an eventlog subscription of all other servers - very cool would be to send all logs from this one server to Logstash.

    Could you help me?

    Thank you very much.

     

    Best regards,

  • Winrpe 4.2.2 on Server 2012r2 Description for Event ID Error
    Post date: Thursday, September 1, 2016 - 01:35

     

    Hello Forum Users,

    I know this has been covered in these forums previously, but I have tried the methods suggested whereby
    the installation of winrpe and associated Xinet service and user has been unnistalled and the ICW directory deleted.

    Unfortunately this has not fixed the problem for us.

    After re-installing the winrpe client and starting the Xinet service, any queries from Nagios to the server result
    in 2 x entries in the the Windows App Event Log as below.

  • Nagwin Installation doesn't worked as it should
    Post date: Tuesday, August 9, 2016 - 16:37

    Hi there everybody,

     

    I'm a student in business informatics and have to write a paper on monitoring tools. Beacuse of the fact that Nagios usually runs on Linux machines, I tried to install Nagwin 2.5.0 on my Windows 7 machine. The installation went fine and no problems or difficulties occured. But after starting the Nagwin Services, I received a txt file called "NagiosServicesResult.txt" with following error messages:

    "agwin_Nagios  [SC] StartService: OpenService FAILED 1060:   The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

    I cannot get any iteration of filter to work that includes more than one process name.  I tried both the comma-separated option as well as using multiple --filter tags.  The error I receive from the above command is:

    The check_proc linux version allows a range for the critical flag (i.e. # of processes is between 2:5).  It appears check_winprocess does not allow that.  How can a range be specified so that if processes is less than "x" or greater "y" it flags.

  • Monitoring website availibility with Nagwin
    Post date: Wednesday, June 8, 2016 - 16:54

    Hello,

    I've installed a Nagwin server and used the winrpe on client servers to monitor services availability. The setup works great and I've given a demo to my bosses, whom also liked the setup and are interested in purchasing a license to monitor additional machines. However they also would like to monitor the availability of external website that we pull data from. Is there an option or plugin for the nagwin server that can accomplish this? 

  • cwRsync instructions: What does "update" mean?
    Post date: Saturday, May 21, 2016 - 03:35

    Hi folks,

    The cwRsync instructions say "update the supplied batch file cwrsync.cmd". What does that mean?

    Get a newer version of that file?

    Edit the contents for local use?

    Run a command "update" on it (whatever that is)?

    Just run the file (even though "update" is not the verb for that action)?

    Thanks, Graham
