RE: Help with mon.cf switches

[Craig Reeson]

 
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
  period
   alertafter 2
   alert mail.alert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   upalertafter 10s
   upalert mail.alert -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Guys,
I'm new to Mon and have taken over a non working install of Mon which I
desperately need to get working...
Anyway, what does the -P option mean/do?
Ie. monitor process.monitor -P augw -C /etc/mon/process.monitor.conf
for process.monitor, -P does nothing. i'm not sure what you're trying to
do or from where you got that example, but if you elaborate then maybe i
can help out.
