Newbie Question.. Monitoring Lnux machines.

[Randy White]

If the system is on the local network there is no reason to use the client.
It can monitor if the system is up or down. I believe the client is just for
if your not on the local lan

Take a look at NRPE for Linux/Unix clients.  There are RPM's available from
rpmforge which will get you going.

Good day,

 

I have installed nagios,  on my  centOS VM. I can monitor Windows machines
and servers just fine using nsclient++.  How can I monitor a Linux server?
There is no NSclient++ available, and the guide  on monitoring linux
machines is incomplete

 

I have check my localhost.cfg file, thinking I could rename it  to
LinuxServer.cfg but it is quite empty:

 

define host {

        host_name                       localhost

        use                             linux-server

        alias                           localhost

        address                         127.0.0.1

        ;

        register                        1

        }

 

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Regards
