Re: [Nagios-users] Newbie Question.. Monitoring Lnux machines.
Take a look at NRPE for Linux/Unix clients. There are RPM's available from rpmforge which will get you going.

Good day, I have installed nagios, on my centOS VM. I can monitor Windows machines and servers just fine using nsclient++. How can I monitor a Linux server? There is no NSclient++ available, and the guide on monitoring linux machines is incomplete I have check my localhost.cfg file, thinking I could rename it to LinuxServer.cfg but it is quite empty: define host { host_name localhost use linux-server alias localhost address 127.0.0.1 ; register1 } Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Nagios-users] Newbie Question.. Monitoring Lnux machines.
Hi there -- The NRPE, Nagios Remote Plugin Executor, software can be installed on the Linux systems along with the plugins that are also present on the server. The combination of the two will enable you to monitor the clients in question.

Re: [Nagios-users] Newbie Question.. Monitoring Lnux machines.
If the system is on the local network there is no reason to use the client. It can monitor if the system is up or down. I believe the client is just for if your not on the local lan From: Daniel Wittenberg [mailto:daniel.wittenberg.r...@statefarm.com] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 3:32 PM To: Nagios Users List Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Newbie Question..

Re: [Nagios-users] Newbie Question.. Monitoring Lnux machines.
Well, local lan really doesn't have to do with it. You CAN use SNMP for some of the checks, my in my experience you can't get everything from SNMP or as detailed info on some things, so I always use NRPE. If you are monitoring the local machine, (localhost) then you obviously don't need an agent, but if you are monitoring other servers you'll need with SNMP or NRPE.
