Re: Agentless monitoring (SNMP?)

Does XI have a feature somewhere to list all the available MIB OIDs per device?

Or, do you recommend to use a third party tool to get useful OID info more easily?

Or, is it supposed to be a paid feature for which customers should get services from the Nagios Company and pay?


Thanks.

Agentless monitoring (SNMP?)

I have a fairly heterogeneous infrastructure with AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, Windows, etc. Just trying to install the agent for AIX, it requires a lot of prerequisite packages to be installed, many of which didn't get installed by default on AIX, and installing them one by one would be a lot of pai...

Re: Free version vs. XI for on-going maintenance

Then, if I've used the free edition for a long time, I should have no problem maintaining the XI edition without having major learning curves other than a need to learn some GUI way of doing things, right? Basically, the main benefits of using the XI edition are easier installation and easier config...

Re: Installation problem with 1-prereqs

Having just installed the fresh i386 version of CentOS 6.3 (Minimal) on this box, the Nagios XI installation now seems to be going much better and cleaner using "fullinstall". # grep "model name" /proc/cpuinfo |uniq model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz # uname -a Linux alph...

Re: Installation problem with 1-prereqs

In fact, I re-installed OS (CentOS 6.3 Minimal) this morning to make sure that I'm starting from all the recommended bases. My CPU might be one of the early 64-bit processors that came out and not fully support the x64 binaries. Let me try re-installing the OS again with the 32-bit CentOS image just...

Re: Installation problem with 1-prereqs

I've just uploaded the install.log file from ./fullinstall.

Re: Installation problem with 1-prereqs

If any particular distribution of Linux is known to work best, it's not a problem for me to switch to another like Ubuntu or Fedora. If you know of such, could you please let me know the distro name along with a version that is known to work with the latest Nagios XI (xi-2012r1.1.tar.gz) for a smoot...

Re: Installation problem with 1-prereqs

Hi, I've tried running the scripts one by one rather than "fullinstall". # uname -a Linux alpha 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 6 19:48:22 GMT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.3 (Final) And the following is the Nagios version that I just d...

Nagios vs. other monitoring tools (SCOM, Tivoli, etc.)

Not sure if my question with this posting would be acceptable on this board but ... For monitoring heterogeneous computing environments (Windows, AIX, Solaris, Linux, NetApp, EMC, etc.), does anyone have any cons and pros comparison of the Nagios XI edition over other solutions, especially SCOM and ...
