[Nagios-users] How do I check the services on remote machines
Hi: I am running nagios to monitoring a cluster. There are different kinds of services running on different machines. How could I use nagios to monitor the services on remote machines? I know I may need to write new plugins to check the service status. My question is: how could I send the service status back to nagios's machine. Do I need to write a client which running on the remote machine and send check results back to nagios periodically? or is there any existing nagios's figure supporting this functionality? thanks Lingyun - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Nagios-users] How do I check the services on remote machines
Hi Lingyun, Have a look at NRPE. Basically you run an NRPE daemon on the remote machines (which is configured with the commands to use.) You set up a service in Nagios to use check_nrpe to query the remote NRPE daemon. The NRPE daemon takes the command name to use, runs the command associated on the system, then sends the result back to Nagios, which determines if it was successful or not. You get the check_nrpe plugin by compiling NPRE (you just have to copy it to Nagios' libexec directory. Andy. Lingyun Yang wrote: Hi: I am running nagios to monitoring a cluster.
