Contrary to your own nagios installation.
The catch here is that this HB cluster offers webservices to the WWW and thus resides in our perimeter DMZ. I really can't imagine that our firewall folks would hapilly open ports for SNMP to pass to my monitoring manager, especially as SNMP (despite how unfounded this prejudice may be for V3) has a pretty bad repution among fw admins. Also, even if I could persuade them I would be required to rig up an snmpd agent to pass caught traps to my Nagios server (though this might not be too dificult if I used the free and well documented net-snmp suite, but in any way would mean more extra work than a wee quickly written custom Nagios plugin for this simple purpose) > > Greetings, > > -- > Dr. Michael Schwartzkopff > MultiNET Services GmbH > Addresse: Bretonischer Ring 7; 85630 Grasbrunn; Germany > Tel: +49 - 89 - 45 69 11 0 > Fax: +49 - 89 - 45 69 11 21 > mob: +49 - 174 - 343 28 75 > > mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > web: www.multinet.de > > Sitz der Gesellschaft: 85630 Grasbrunn > Registergericht: Amtsgericht München HRB 114375 > Geschäftsführer: Günter Jurgeneit, Hubert Martens > > --- > > PGP Fingerprint: F919 3919 FF12 ED5A 2801 DEA6 AA77 57A4 EDD8 979B > Skype: misch42 > _______________________________________________ > Linux-HA mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha > See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems > _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
