Re: Nagios Client on FreeBSD 5.4

[Deepak Naidu]

Mike & Pete one question more, sorry dudes...

I have the Nagios server on Linux, Have installed nrpe
v2.0 on FreeBSD, when using check_nrpe from linux box,
I get CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds
error, theres no firewall, but when using chekc_nrpe
from FreeBSD to FreeBSD it works fine. ie chekcing
load, disk etc...

I run nrpe2 as daemon mode not using inetd or xinetd
allowed the hosts in my network ie 2.0

Any clue regarding the error, version issue is not
there, bcos both linux and freebsd use the same nrpe.

Thanx for any input.


Cheers,
Deepak Naidu.

You can also monitor disk load and activity via net-snmp. I use net-snmp to
monitor large networks of heterogenous hardware and OS's
(*BSD/Linux/IRIX/Solaris/etc..) along side nagios. Granted SNMP may not be a
viable protocol to use on the public internet...

SMTP, http imap etc can all be monitored over the internet by the nagios 
box since the check plugins for those are tcp/ip based, things like disk 
space will require the nrpe setup (or one of the equivilent) which only 
needs the plugins, I use nagios and nrpe extensivley to monitor our rack 
at redbus, network services are just another service definition, checks 
for disk access call the nrpe check command on the nagios server which 
connects to the nrpe service on the remote machine which in turn runs 
the nagios check plugin and returns the results to the nagios server!

Basicly you'll need the nrpe package and the nagios plugins package but 
since the nagios plugins are a dependancy of the nrpe port all you'll 
need to install yourself is the nrpe package (assuming you're using 
ports), you'll also need to install the nrpe package on the linux box in 
order to get the check command for nagios!

Re: Nagios Client on FreeBSD 5.4

[Deepak Naidu]

Right Mike, this is what exactly I want.  More details are
 
I have LVS server in Linux, installed with Nagios.  I have 5 spam servers and 5 
IMAP and POP servers, from which 2 spam servers are FreeBSD 5.4.  I have been 
monitoring them through Linux nagios, and running nrpe on clients.
 
But now for FreeBSD, I hope for SMTP check or MailQ I dont need any 
installation of nagios client(plugin) right ?
 
If I want to monitor load, disk space, http etc service I have install entire 
nagios package or nagios-statsd, or plugins ?
 
Thanx for any info.

Deepak Naidu

I know this has already been addresses by others but i have another 
answer :)

If im reding you right you have a linux box setup with nagios and you 
want to monitor services on a remote freebsd box ?

SMTP wont be an issue, that can be monitored with check_smtp as someone 
has already suggested, local stats like disk usage can be monitored a 
number of ways, personaly i've found nrpe (nagios remote plugin 
executor), nrpe basicly allows you to execute nagios check plugins over 
a network/the internet, it's in ports (2 versions depending on which 
version of nagios you have installed) and it'll install the 
nagios-plugins package as a dependancy, once it's installed you can 
configure the commands nrpe will answer and these commands in turn call 
a nagios plugin.

On FreeBSD running nagios server, (dunno about Linux) From
/usr/local/libexec/nagios  you'll see the plugins, or install them
from ports if you don't have them already.  For disk is check_disk or
check_local_disk, I don't have it in front of me right now.  from
there you can do in your config file.:

check_command   check_local_disk 

check_command   check_tcp!25   <--will monitor your SMTP service OR
check_command   check_SMTP

Read the Nagios docs for syntax on choosing a disk slice and setting
the alert threshold.

Good Luck,
Bob

Im not sure but I did a cd /usr/ports && make search key=nagios and 
found a bunch of information.
My best bet is to check out nagios-statd in ports. The full path is 
/usr/ports/sysutils/nagios-statd.
