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! --------------------------------------- Mike Woods Systems Administrator _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --------------------------------- To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
