<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>I need to monitor an application (a web application + a pos
server) which will be running on multiple servers, which again will be sitting
on clusters. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>This application will use Microsoft OS, SQL Server and
JBoss Appservers, in a distributed environment. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>The idea is to have system, application and network level
monitoring. There are other levels of monitoring but they’ll need to be achieved
from within the application. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>I read through the FAQs and understood that it is possible
to monitor MS servers through Nagios. But Nagios itself needs to sit on a Linux
machine. This is fine with me. My question is “Is this understanding
right that I will be able to achieve thread-level monitoring using Nagios in
this system?” </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>I cud not find an official statement that I will. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>Right now, I am not struggling with ‘how’, but
due to the tight deadline, I cannot spend time on R & D. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Verdana'>Can someone tell me, if Nagios has proven being the same
useful tool in MS environment & on clusters?</span></font></p>
