I'm sure there are applications out there that will do what your looking for but that will have a daemon running on your managed client, or, monitored system, and with that said, then you have to start thinking about how to secure that. If your worried about security and all of these machines are running FreeBSD, then why not run ipfw or ipf on those machines to allow only those machines you specify in? That way you could run SNMP and do utilize snmp queries to collect data. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of twig les Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 4:30 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: monitoring CPU/mem etc without SNMP Hey all, after a bit of thinking and some looking thru email archives I'm still stumped on a way to get CPU, memory, disk I/O, disk use etc.... info from one machine to another without using SNMP. All these boxes are FreeBSD 4.7 Release. I'm sure I could rig a script to ssh into the boxes and do a df -h etc. and write the info to a file but my gut tells me there is a MUCH better solution that someone with far better programming skills has already come up with and stuck in the ports collection. So is anyone doing this? The key I'm looking for is security, which negates SNMP. Something small and secure with almost no extra features would be nice.
