[Nagios-users] Nagios communication with client

2007-03-29 Thread UnixAdmin
Hi All, We are interested in using Nagios, and would like to know how Nagios communicates with clients to run monitoring scripts. For example, we would write a script that would be run either locally on the Nagios server or optionally on the client. The script would evaluate certain logfiles o

Hi all, I have all of my service in passive mode. After some struggle I manage to integrate nagiosgraph and configured one of the service to generate graph. The problem that I am seeing is that the icons and their associated links are interchanged. e.g. I have 3 icons for Root partition service.

[Nagios-users] Parents config with redundant firewalls

I am looking to set some parent directives for some remote hosts here, but the parent would be a firewall that is redundant, as in it is actually two systems that fail over as needed. What would be the best way to set this up in Nagios so that it monitors them correctly and also displays them corr

[Nagios-users] check_cpu_usage plugin?

Simple question -- is there a plugin or easy method to check for processor usage over either a 1 minute or 5 minute average on linux machines? There's a check_load plugin, but I can't find anything that would easily function as a check_cpu plugin. -

Andy, I was under the impression that load was more indicative on process-wait for cpu cycles and general system performance than actual cpu usage. For example, heavy processor wait on disk IO could cause high load without actually consuming CPU usage, amongst other things. Am I incorrect? If

You might try to modify the daimonic plugins. These are pretty good - they do a walk of the MIB and pull out fan speed and temperatures. You will need to adjust them to work with IBM servers - I'm sure the MIB values are different from the HPs Gary wrote these for. http://gwfl.daimonic.org/inde

Actually, the exact meaning is the average number of process on the CPU run queue. For example if you have two processes running constantly (ex. number-crunching applications) you load average will be always 2 (or higher if there's other programs running). Since the run queue does not have a upper
