independant plugin

[Andre Kruger]

Another option to look at would be check_mk. I am not sure if this tool
can save the output of the checks to file, but you can always email the
creator of the plugin and ask him. check_mk works exclusively with
passive checks.

Hi list,
First time poster here but I've read a lot of emails so many thanks for
that.
I don't know how to search for what I'm looking so I'm going to simply
ask and hope someone has seen or made something that would suit what I
need.
So here's the setup:
I currently use Nagios to scan over 700 routers (Cisco 1800 series) on
our network. Basically we have a little over 700 stores connected to the
internet and using a VPN to form a network with our servers. So
currently Nagios is pinging those routers to make sure they are up and
connected.
Behind those routeurs I have an office computer and several cash
registers. As a security precaution those computers are not reachable
from my linux box and Nagios of course.
There is a very simple system that allows those computers to send files
back to our servers by secure FTP.
Ok so what I'm looking for is a software that would work in the
background on those computers and scan for CPU usage, Memory, hard
drives and if possible temperature. If certain conditions are met (like
shortage of disk space) a file would be produced in a specific folder
and the our automatic FTP system would grab it and transfer that to our
servers... From there it's a simple matter to transfer it to my linux
box and make it availlable to Nagios as a passive check.
Has anyone heard of such a software? I've looked into NsClient++ but I
have no clue if it's able to save the scans to file if it does it would
probably be a pretty good tool for what I'm looking for.
Another question I have is about the passive check function. I
understand how it works but what I'm not sure of is how to make sure the
files that would be produced by the remote software will be correctly
formated for Nagios to understand it.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
