If the services are on a Windows server, you can check whether they are up either using an SNMP query ( the check_snmp_win plugin which you'll find at http://nagios.manubulon.com/ ), or if you would prefer not to use SNMP, then look at the NSClient++ agent for Nagios at http://nsclient.org/nscp/ . For simple web sites you can use check_http to test that the web page is up and running too. If you want a head start in understanding how the various plugins, agents and add-ons for Nagios fit together, I recommend the book "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth published by No Starch Press. It gives a really good explanation from first principles and goes in to plenty of detail too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
