Nagios Support Forum

Sorry I didn't clarify. This is what I wanted, not a book specifically for this problem. I'm trying to learn from scratch and a basic knowledge of Linux and just want some reference material. Thanks for the input and I will be picking that book up soon.

I'm willing to test, as this will not be rolled out for a few months. I'm learning this system as much as I can in order to make this work and keep it up after institution. Anyone suggest a good book for it? I just want one that is current and will allow me to learn a little more in depth than trial...

I was looking at NSCA. Would that be a better option than MNTOS? Also can anyone recommend a good Nagios book so that I have some study material. Google is great, but reference material isn't a bad idea.

Thanks, but I was more looking for a solution that was cheap or free. We are a very small computer shop. Could consider Fusion after growing some, but at the moment we just can't cover the costs. I do have a working knowledge of NSClient++ and will be using it on the majority of systems as we will b...

We are setting up to start monitoring all of our local business customers. I have a decent grasp of how to get Nagios to do what checks I want and make them work the way I need them to. My issue is with the actual Distributed monitoring parts. How are others doing it? What programs are you using? Li...

Sorry for both the necro and the late replay, this project was shelved due to other work. I just want to say thank you for your help. I managed to get the BlackArmor to report to Nagios with my script and batch file combo. It's a little strange, but I wrote a loop that skipped the spaces and the jun...

Yes I can access it via a web ui. I was considering that at one point, but I am not 100% sure where to start with that. I am still a novice in most aspects of the whole computer world. I did, however get my script working, mostly. Now I'm having issues getting nagios to work with the executable I ma...

I'm still working on it. It's strange WMI will allow me to scan the NAS from the computer, but it will not allow Nagios to scan it with basically the same commands. I'm actually in the middle of writing a python script to read the info being passed from a batch file. The problem I'm running into now...

Soooo, I did a little more snooping and I think I can actually use a WMI check to get what I want. It will return with the actual info from the mapped drive, I'm working on it now, going to see what I can do and report back.

I appreciate the response. I'll try the task scheduler first, as Nagios will already be running from a VM on most of our client's sites and mounting it in the virtal box could cause extra difficulty that really isn't needed. Thanks again and I'll report back once I either have it working or have thr...
