Monitoring a HP-UX system

Hi Palle,
 
  I gather that SNMP is not installed and/or not running?

OK, no problem.

To monitor the disk usage, run "ssh <server> df -kP" (assuming

passwordless login is set up), and process the output on the nagios

server itself. Similar, for other commands.

You want to have the opposite of what check_http.pl (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F1531.html;d=1 <http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F1531.html;d=1> ) provides... If you're up to speed with perl, you could use the telnet

module to check some TCP ports and check for their ouput.

 

HTH, cu l8r, Edgar.
