eng... thanks for the reply...
however, my understanding of nagios, is that it can use client apps, and that it can monitor the outputs/states of these apps (depending on the clients/nagios settings...) if that's the case, my original question is valid, as i'm trying to figure out if clients have been developed/used to do what i suggested... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tedman Eng Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 11:46 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] nagios client for security/asset mgmt.. Nagios _monitors_ stuff. To accurately monitor, you need known quantities. Nagios checks these known quantities at regular intervals and alerts when they change or are out of bounds. Assessing a system is a different beast. All the quantities are unknown. After assessment, you end with a database of known quantities, which you can THEN plug in the important ones into nagios to monitor. I suggest you look at some tools that may better match your needs: psinfo nmap WINventory more at http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/11/18/179206 -----Original Message----- From: bruce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 9:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios client for security/asset mgmt.. hi... curious to know if anyone has created a cleint for windows boxes to be used as an asset mgmt client? thinking about a client that would return every bit of information about the system as possible!! -hardware -software -ports -interfaces -services -etc.. also interested to know if anyone has created/used/knowledge of a msoft/windows client for use in a security environment? the client would/should return information regarding.. -hardware -software -ports -interfaces -services -apps running -virus apps/etc.. -malware app running/etc... -etc.. has anyone knowledge of anyone using nagios as the server/host/central hub for this kind of information/processes.. thanks -bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
