RE: Help with mon.cf switches
Ok, thanks again for everybodies help
I am beginning to understand the way Mon works :)
Anyway, I believe I have made some progress..
Mon now gives me the green light on my process monitoring, BUT I get an
error like such:
Server1 returned an SNMP error: Unknown user name
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Craig

Hi,
Arguments (parameters) of mon server and process.monitor spawned for
particular watchgroup is completely different things. Maybe - that's the
problem?
To use process.monitor you should:
- install UCD-SNMP/NetSNMP software on target host
- configure snmpd on target host, e.g:
proc httpd 10 20
# number of httpd-s should be between 10 and 20
- start snmpd on target host
(target host = host to check)
Then you can manually check (from mon server shell):
$ process.monitor -c SNMP_community_if_not_public host
or you can add service in mon.cf which will be periodically checked by
mon server using process.monitor. e.g:
# example
--
hostgroup billing bill01.domain.com
watchgroup billing
service ping
service disk-space
...
...
service proc
exclude_period wd{sun-sat},hr{18-7}
description Check of billing processes
depend SELF:ping
interval 35m
randskew 25s
monitor process.monitor
failure_interval 5m

Thats a very generic question, so I'll give a very generic answer: Find or write a monitor script to test the process. For example, http.monitor can be used to make an HTTP request to a web server and verify it its running and serving pages. Or dns.monitor can be use to send DNS queries to a name server, etc. If the process you care about doesn't provide some remotely testable service, then you need an agent of some form running on the remote machine that can tell you the process is running. The process.monitor script expects the remote machine to be running the snmp agent from the Net-SNMP package, formerly known as UCD-SNMP. If you have that agent installed, or can install it, edit the config file for the agent and enable the process monitoring functionality. Then process.monitor will be able to report whether snmpd is reporting any failures on the remote machine. (Alternatively you could write a monitor script which logged into the remote machine and ran a program to test a local service, but I've never taken that approach myself.) -David Nolan Network Software Designer Computing Services Carnegie Mellon University ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
