i wan to monitor a webserver, its behind the IPS. when i try to monitor
using nagios
check_http, nagios alerts me host down.
can any one help. this is my client Server, and i want to check apache/jboss
and need to restart if service is down. ping is disabled on it.
thanks.
We have a Microsoft ISA proxy server for accessing the wider internet
(is that the same thing as an IPS?). In order to get through that, I
use a tool called ntlmaps which handles the connection and
authentication. I installed it from the Ubuntu repositories so
there's probably a prebuilt package for whichever distro you're using.
Unfortunately there's no man page for it, but documentation and
instructions can be readily found on Google. The config file which
you'll need to edit to suit your requirements is (on Ubuntu anyway)
/etc/ntlmaps/server.cfg .
If you choose to use ntlmaps, I'd advise you to use an account
name/password without any password expiry or you'll forever be messing
around resetting it every time the password expires.
Last time I used ntlmaps with Nagios I found it used a lot of system
resource and slowed the Nagios system down a bit - it was on an
underspecced server though. YMMV. I now only use ntlmaps on the odd
occasion to install new packages or update existing ones.
hth,
Jim
