WMI Citrix Profile
This profile monitors a Windows Citrix Server using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). Nagios Remote Plugin Executor (NRPE) is used by the Nagios server to communicate with the WMI proxy server. This proxy server queries the monitored Windows server for measurements and status using WMI.
Additionally, you may want to refer to the WMI documentation. This project consists of a collection of script monitors (.vbs for starters) that use the Microsoft .Net Framework and WMI to retrieve performance data from remote Windows hosts without the need for agents on the remote hosts.
Services Configuration
- Service - Definitions in Monarch are stored under this name.
- Command Line - Service command name with arguments to be passed to the plugin.
- Plugin Command Line - Plugin script called by Nagios for this Service.
Command lines displayed below are intended to be single line commands. Service Command Line Plugin Command Line tcp_citrix_master_browser check_citrix $USER1$/check_ica_master_browser.pl -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -P $HOSTADDRESS$
Profile Package
This package includes the following files:
Profile Definitions
- service-profile-wmi-citrix.xml
- perfconfig-wmi-citrix.xml
Plugins Scripts on the GroundWork Server
- check_ica_master_browser.pl
WMI Scripts on the WMI Proxy Server
- nrpe_nt.zip
Installation
GroundWork Monitor includes many monitoring profiles for a variety of devices, systems and applications. Profiles already imported on a new GroundWork installation include Service Ping, SNMP Network, and SSH UNIX. The GroundWork Monitor Configuration tool is used to import updated Profiles and Profiles that require additional setup; the Profile XML file and its companion Performance Configuration definition file. Services can also be imported in addition to Service Profiles in the Profile Importer. The import process is documented under GROUNDWORK PROFILES > How to import profiles.
Implementation
This section contains detail settings used by this Profile. These parameters can be altered with the Configuration tool.
Command Parameters
Command parameters are in the Configuration Services section with the following names and default values.
tcp_citrix_master_browser
- Queries the ICA port on $HOSTADDRESS$ and verifies that the master browser is the same as $HOSTADDRESS$.
- No arguments.
Implementation Notes
The steps are:
- The nrpe.cfg file on the Windows server maps commands issued by the GroundWork server to scripts in the c:\nrpe_nt directory. Commands issued by this profile are installed with this package. If new NRPE commands are added, this file must be modified. Go to the GroundWork Support Portal - GroundWork Connect at www.groundworkconnect.com and search for Installing GroundWork WMI NRPE.
- The WMI proxy server must be in the same domain as target monitored Windows server, and must have administrator rights.
