Well, local lan really doesn't have to do with it. You CAN use SNMP for
some of the checks, my in my experience you can't get everything from
SNMP or as detailed info on some things, so I always use NRPE. If you
are monitoring the local machine, (localhost) then you obviously don't
need an agent, but if you are monitoring other servers you'll need with
SNMP or NRPE.

If the system is on the local network there is no reason to use the
client. It can monitor if the system is up or down. I believe the client
is just for if your not on the local lan

Take a look at NRPE for Linux/Unix clients. There are RPM's available
from rpmforge which will get you going.

Good day,
I have installed nagios, on my centOS VM. I can monitor Windows
machines and servers just fine using nsclient++. How can I monitor a
Linux server? There is no NSclient++ available, and the guide on
monitoring linux machines is incomplete
I have check my localhost.cfg file, thinking I could rename it to
LinuxServer.cfg but it is quite empty:
define host {
host_name localhost
use linux-server
alias localhost
address 127.0.0.1
;
register 1
}
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
