Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios + memory usage + SNMP
If you are monitoring Linux, I would suggest this one, from the same page I directed you – define command{ command_name check_linux_snmp_proc command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_process -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $USER15$ -2 -n $ARG1$ -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ } (Run the command interactively for all the necessary arguments, or see the web page - it’s pretty straightforward).

Before I was using Cacti and could monitor the memory usage on the hosts without having to install anything on it. Picked up the information via SNMP. In Nagios, so I'm looking to monitor memory usage and some other services I have to install the NRPE + xinetd hosts. There is another option to monitrar these services without having to install anything on remote hosts (being in the same network as the server)? thank you Leandro Ferreira -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
