Chris - Before you do anything, make sure you have the net-snmp package installed (look for snmpwalk in /usr/local/bin or suchlike). No snmp plugin will work without it (that I'm aware of anyway). I might also suggest you investigate Groundwork - it takes some of the manual work out of configuring/using Nagios. It still requires understanding Nagios, and I'm sure its a bit of work to get started, but in the long run, you'll see web pages for configuration instead of text files, and it tries to make things a little simpler. <Disclaimer>: I have only set up the configuration GUI for others, and haven't used the whole package, so I'm not speaking from experience. Not sure what its "free-ness" status is either... tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
