checking disk space of remote hosts

[EXT-Fuentes, James P]

Start with "man snmpd" on the box you want to monitor. You'll most likely find where config file/MIBs reside and how to start the daemon(snmpd). At that point you'll have to look through the MIB to see what information you can query with check_snmp. There's usually WAY more than you'd ever even think to monitor.

Hey,

SNMP looks pretty sweet, i'm not sure how exactly to go about and set
this up (right now i don't have any SNMP stuff running on these linux
boxes).  How hard is it to get that going?
Also, it looks like SNMP is pretty flexible, could it be used to check
on context switches, etc.?

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson

Unless there's a compelling reason to use check_disk you might try the other effective options. I'm using check_nt which requires NSClient on Win2K boxes and all that's required on any UNIX variant in order to use check_snmp is a MIB on that box that provides disk info(which most - or at least all that I've seen - do).
