[Nagios-users] remote check with no nagios tools at remote node
Along the lines of probing hosts that may or (more importantly) may not have nagios checks installed... I wonder if there is an ssh (there is often key based logins avail) based check that will run things like 'ps' or 'top' or various shell based commands and parse them to do some sort of health check... thanks for any pointers. -G -- Come build with us!

I wrote a plugin for dhcpd which lists hosts that currently have leases: http://www.monitoringexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F1450.html;d=1 -h Thank you for the pointer to this cool plugin... Unfortunately no solutions to date really fill the bill as the leases are allocated by a router that does not publish them in a way I know how to get... nor can I put anything on the DHCP hosts... they are not under my control... Maybe there is a way to hack into my router and get the lease info... or maybe I need a little daemon that will just go and probe for all possible hosts... I would just like to see an accurate depiction of who is on the net at any given time... maybe this is not something nagios is good at (i.e., dynamic host groups). -G -- Come build with us!

I am looking for almost zero footprint there or leveraging am ssh login that already exists... the plugin I have in mind (and am pretty sure it does not exist) are things like check_load but where the system info is pulled back to the local host with ssh -c check_load_ssh might be a reasonable name for this and all it would require is a key based login on the remote host ... just dreaming out load. thanks, G -- Come build with us!

[Nagios-users] DHCP hosts
Does anyone have a good solution for monitoring DHCP hosts which may come and go? I would like to see them in some hostgroup when they are active but not generate any alerts when gone... ideas? thanks, Giovanni -- Come build with us!
