remote desktop port name
 
what's the name of the port for remote desktop? is it something called 'remotelypossible'? i wanted to monitor that port in nagios, so i need to find out the name for it first.

thanks

Hi,

What are you referring to as remote desktop? RDP protocol used by Windows, NX, VNC, ...?

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

Ya, RDP protocol. But there is one port 799, which is remotelypossible, is for RDP too right?

EricTRA 08-02-2010 12:54 AM
Hello,

I had to do some Google searching for that. Looks like 779 is used by ControlIT, a remote control application by CA Technologies. If you want to monitor the Windows RDP port you need to monitor port 3389. You could do that using the check_tcp_port plugin for that.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

So do i have to write the service and command like this:

Code:
define service{
        use                    generic-service
        host_name              remotehost
        service_description    TCP
        check_command          check_tcp!3389
        }
Code:
define command{
        command_name    check_tcp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_tcp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

Hi,

That looks correct at first glance. The only thing you're not mentioning in the service is the contact or contact group to whom notifications should be send.

Kind regards,

Eric

yes, but this only applies if you do not have the contact/contact groups listed in the the generic-service template

Hi,

But i thought by default there is contacts listed in contacts.cfg. Is that what you mean?

Sorry x_x

Contacts.cfg defines contacts and contact groups only. You still need to define in the service who to contact.

Hi,

is it something like:

Code:
define service{
        use                    generic-service
        host_name              remotehost
        service_description    TCP
        check_command          check_tcp!3389
        contact_groups          admins
        }
Like this will do?

But why is there such a need? For my other services like HTTP, SSH, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP etc, for all those i did not define the contact_groups in service.

Hello,

That's what centosboy pointed out earlier. You don't need to set it in the service if you have set the contact/contact group in your service template. You call the service template with the line
Code:
use                    generic-service
The way centosboy stated is a bit confusing since he first stated correctly that you don't need to supply it if the contact is set in the template and in his latter post stated that you have to set it in the service.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi Eric,

Alright. For service_description, i could change to any name i want right? Since it is just a description. So i'm going to change it to Remote Desktop.(:

Correct, you can change the description to what you want.

Hi,

Code:
define service{
        use                    generic-service
        host_name              wins xp sp2
        service_description    Remote Desktop
        check_command          check_tcp!3389
        }
is there any feature i have to enable in the windows server in order to monitor remote desktop?
cause i got "CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds"
