2007-04-05 Thread Paul Archer
Can anyone point me to a HOWTO or other documentation for setting up an event handler that runs on a remote machine (probably through nrpe)? I've gone over the docs for setting up a local event handler, but translating that to a remote handler is just not working for me right now. thanks,

I can't give you any advice one way or the other on SNMP; however, you might want to look at the alternative of using ssh for monitoring. Setup a 'nagios' user on the client with appropriate ssh keys on the server. Use forced commands in 'authorized_keys' for safety, and have the Nagios server

Thanks for the responses. I hadn't thought about the scope of the problem (ie that each plugin would potentially need to be modified). I think the scope could be somewhat contained by just modifying check_nrpe; that's the only plugin that relies on the client allowing a certain IP address. Right
