Greg, We are monitoring our 20+ capture agents (Replay not yet Matterhorn) with Nagios too. Ping for host-check and http for service-check. This worked very good for some years now. I have no need for closer monitoring yet. With MCA the situation may be different. The internal storage is very limited and the possibility to watch it may be helpful.
Regards Armin BTW. I'm just testing the MCA and I'm quite impressed. With some bug and feature fixing this product will become very useful. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Greg Logan Gesendet: Donnerstag, 21.

I'm the guy doing the Matterhorn integration work for the new Epiphan Matterhorn Capture Appliances (MCAs), as well as a developer for the normal Matterhorn capture agent (CA). We have about 10 CAs deployed on our campus currently, and one of our concerns was monitoring their status outside of Matterhorn itself. To do this we use Nagios to check if they're up by sshing into them, and we're working on the next step of checking the system health (smart, disk space, etc) as well as making sure they capture when they should. Does anyone else monitor their CAs in a similar way? Are you using Nagios as well? Munin? I ask, because we are at a stage in the MCA development where adding something like Nagios would be easy (memory space permitting!), so I'd like some community feedback in terms of what people are looking for in an SNMP monitor.
