Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Connection attempts
Matthew Macdonald-Wallace wrote: Hi All, Before I start coding my own plugin to do this, does anyone know of a plugin that monitors the number of external connection attempts over a given period of time for a given service and sends alerts accordingly? I've noticed on a number of servers that we maintain recently that there are unauthorised attempts to connect via SSH/FTP. These appear in the log files about 2 seconds apart and are obviously automated. Better than checking for this is to block them with iptables. Take a look at http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ which we use on our outward facing servers. It comes with notification via email as a bonus. As others have mentioned even reporting this abuse to the owners/ISPs is pretty useless.

Re: [Nagios-users] How and where to install NDOUtils ?

Use your package tools to find out where the configuration files and binaries are installed and then install the NDOUtils files there too. -- Bob Amen O'Reilly Media, Inc. http://www.ora.com/ http://www.oreilly.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Light?

Looks like great stuff, but takes too long to setup, configure, and get running in network environments where I would leave it with administrators will little to no linux knowledge. Is there something linux-based that would be comparable to nagios light? Thanks for any input. You might try Hyperic HQ. It's recently been released as an Open Source product. It's got the point and click interface that you might be looking for. I tried it and didn't like it. I find nagios to be much better, easier to maintain and set up but you might find HQ to be more suited for your environments. http://www.hyperic.com/ Cheers, Bob -- Bob Amen O'Reilly Media, Inc. http://www.ora.com/ http://www.oreilly.com/ - Take Surveys.
