I'm not a Linux guy, but the instructions have been so good that it has been an easy experience. Good work! I've been able to populate the NMS with 500+ host and monitor over 1000+ services. I plan to grow it. I've been asked to monitor host CPU and host disk usage. I've read that there is two ways monitor this function. One is installing a client on each server and the other is SNMP. Since our shop has several types of boxes and OS, for us it is better to poll the box via SNMP. I've not been able to find detailed documentation on how to have Nagios poll via SNMP for disk usage. Now, when I say documentation, I have found a check_snmp plug-in, but did not have enough documentation for a beginner to be able to utilize it. Can you point me to any check_snmp documentation that will clearly describe how I can poll servers via SNMP? If believe the client version is better, will it support Unix, Linux, Novell, and NT? You guys have always been very supportive. Thank you. <A NAME="_MailAutoSig">R.
