There are a number of methods available to monitor Windows machines with Nagios. This tutorial will show you how to use NRPE and the NSClient++. This is probably the easiest method and provides the ability to monitor drive space, CPU, Memory, etc.

Edit the NSC.ini file that is in the NSClient directory. Note that the file is divided by keywords placed in brackets. First go to the [modules] section and edit the checks that you want to use. Uncomment the lines that you see below. The FileLogger.dll will log the activities of the NSClient++. CheckDisk.dll will check for file size and hard disk use. The CheckSystem.dll will check for memory, uptime, service stats and processes. You will also need to uncomment the NSClientListener.dll and the NRPEListener.dll in order to communicate with Nagios.
