Nagios Support Forum

Hi, I need to install NRPE with nagios-plugins on Ubuntu 12.04 i386 (32bits). I got the recommendation to use the option –enable-perl-modules but I have problems with that. What is needed on the host where I try to compile the code? I assume perl is needed but are there some specific modules? In suc...

Hi, I want to monitor my Linux servers using NRPE. Based on the info from a typical server can be seen below. What should I monitor? Should I run separate check for: / /opt /usr Or is it enough with just running a check for: / Any comments what is important to consider before deciding how the partio...
