Monitoring solaris server without installing any plugin

[James E. Pratt]

Hi i have a similar problem where no matter how i try and compile on
either sol8 or sol9 (sparc) using the software from sunfreeware (gcc,
openssl etc etc), i just cannot get NRPE ssl handshakes to work via
inetd... I've tried everything, and triple-checked everything countless
times, but always get the "Failed to complete ssl handshake" message..

Can anyone give me any insight, or has seen this issue before? ...I
would use snmp instead, but i'm pretty clueless on snmp and it's not set
up in nagios (yet), and i have no clue what mibs or whatever i would
need etc... Any help/pointers there are appreciated as well on the snmp
stuff - i see there are countless ways to do snmp on nagios.org - what
works best for most out there etc?

thanks,
Jamie

If you just have an issue with using a compiling environment, you can
install openssl and net-snmp packages from http://www.sunfreeware.com/.

We do system health monitoring and checking for processes via SNMP
polls.  You get raw data from SNMP and have all the plugin logic running
on the Nagios server.
