Monitoring Windows Node fails

[piet]

Hello Forum,
I run NeDi 1.7p3 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS installed from scratch.

I try to monitor a Windows node with NeDi but pinging the node using "moni.pl" fails while a normal ping from OS works as expected.
Disabling the Windows firewall on the target node, did not help.

Any hint would be very much appreciated.

sudo -u www-data /var/nedi/moni.pl -vt nuc.hogwarts.local

NeDi can do ICMP ping, but also TCP ping, which may not work in this case. Check in Monitoring-Setup and change for all Windows hosts. Just be aware, it won't scale well with many (hundreds) hosts as non-SNMP tests are sequential. Testing uptime and the likes is non-blocking...
