[chop] > Is there a way I can check a proc on another machine ?? NRPE, check_by_ssh and check_snmp are all ways to actively check external machines. NRPE requires a daemon running on the destination machine along with the plugins you want to use. Check_by_ssh requires you to configure authorized_keys access (passwordless access) from your source machine to the destination as well as the plugins you want to use and check_snmp requires a properly configured snmpd running on the target machine and knowledge of the OID's to check. I generally use NRPE if I'm checking a lot of things on a host and check_by_ssh if only a few. You can also use NSCA/send_nsca in a script that runs check_procs and sends the results to nagios via a cron job on your target machine back to your other nagios machine. In this particular case, I would just use check_ntp as you mentioned. If you don't want to check offset at this point, just set high values. Any response would then indicate that ntp is running on the target host. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
