Nagios 3 to 4 - How to monitor a Windows host and its services

This is my third video of my nagios series. This video talk about hot to monitor a Windows host by Nagios. You can monitor the CPU usage, the memory usage and the disk space.
We will install the NCPA agent on the Windows host and we will configure the nagios server to monitor this Windows host.
------------------------------------
00:00 Intro
00:33 Install the NCPA agent on the Windows host
03:11 Install and configure the check_ncpa plugin on the nagios server
06:43 Test the check_ncpa command check_ncpa before adding it to the nagios server
09:25 add the configuration on the nagios server
19:28 Restart the nagios service
19:58 Nagios console verification
21:28 How to monitor the disk space.

##### Here all commands I used in this video on the monitored host
wget raw.githubusercontent.com/Nag...
cd /usr/lib/nagios/plugins
sudo chmod a+x check_ncpa.py
sudo chown nagios check_ncpa.py
sudo chgrp nagios check_ncpa.py
ls -l check_ncpa.py
sudo vi check_ncpa.py
Remove this line
#!/usr/bin/env python
Add this line
#!/usr/bin/python3

sudo vi /etc/nagios4/nagios.cfg
add theses two lines
