Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I have started using Nagios recently, and since Nagios core uses files to store every information and no database, can Nagios be used on every file system like ext2, ext3, ntfs, fat, etc.?

Thank you for the reply.
By utility I meant that can we get hardware details without installing Nagios nrpe on the server?
Also, which protocols can be used to do it, IPMI or SMTP to name a few.

Thank you.
