How I should use it (example)? <o:p></o:p> Well at my work we have a lot of servers hosted somewhere else (our productionservers) and our testserver placed in house. Instead of having to different interfaces etc – then you use nsca to commit the results of check to the other location and then have watch it all on 1 interface. <o:p></o:p> Can I use some plugin with nsca?<o:p></o:p> yes<o:p></o:p> How can I monitor Windows workstation remotly, for disk, memory, cpu usage, etc...?<o:p></o:p> Well I use the snmp on all host (linux,windows) both places and the result are sent J<o:p></o:p> 2- If I need to monitor a remote site with a couple of workstation/switches/router, what could be the best way to monitor it if I can't monitor it directly (remote site with dynamic external IP). <o:p></o:p> Well if you have static IP one place – Set the Master machine there – and having nsca send the results to that (again J )<o:p></o:p> So basicly it sounds like you should read the manual more about the nsca ( I have been there L ) and well then go ahead.<o:p></o:p> It’s really not that difficult when you’re in it.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Greetings <o:p></o:p> Per Jørgensen<o:p></o:p> www.mobilepeople.com<o:p></o:p> Thanks<o:p></o:p> <div> -- <o:p></o:p> Sébastien Roy <o:p></o:p> Administrateur de Systèmes Senior / Senior System Administrator<o:p></o:p> PointPub Media Communications Inc. - <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">St-Eustache</st1:City>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region></st1:place> Bur.: (450) 735-4006 ..:..
