Many network devices will have SNMP running already, for some (especially nat-in-a-box devices) it's the only way. Many corporations will prefer monitoring systems use SNMP to their own agents. > can anyone point me WHERE can I found a non-cryptographic information > on "how to get info on disk usage on remote hosts"? Using SNMP and Nagios, you could run the following plugin http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F2045.htm l;d=1 (We've made a few additions) http://195.50.87.86/check_hd.txt However as Jim has said, getting a good book on nagios (like the Wolfgang book) is a good start if you don't understand now the nagios system works, once you understand the basics, you can add in plugins from monitoringexchange. -- Paul Weaver Systems Development Engineer News Production Facilities, BBC News ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
