Re: NSCLIENT++ and NSCA - Limit out Outplug in

Are you limited to having to use NSCA? If, instead, you could wrap your checks into an SSH-based script, you could send back arbitrarily long output strings.

Re: Apply Config Failed

It sounds like you might be trying to SCM your Nagios configurations. You can do that, but you don't want to use the Nagios database to store it. You're better off extracting somewhere, creating valid config files, and pushing them to the XI import directory to pull stuff into XI. Details on that st...

Re: ESXi monitoring

It does not monitor the guest operating systems, it monitors the host ESX or ESXi server. Read the manual at https://exchange.nagios.org/components/com_mtree/attachment.php?link_id=5840&cf_id=29 to get an idea as to what you need to do. @Box293 is also on the forums and twitter and at box293.com...

Re: ESXi monitoring

NO WAY!! I've been looking for SNMP for ESXi for years and stopped looking because I never found it! I've never been happier to be wrong! :-)

Thanks!

Re: Logstash stopping again

Mitch,

Looking forward to seeing you at the conference if you can make it! You can pester Nagios developers in real time in real life, so tell your financial decision maker that it's well worth it! :mrgreen:

Re: size of a directory

Do you mean the size of all of the files contained within a directory? If so, you would have use something like NSclient to do the check. You can read some sample documentation at http://docs.nsclient.org/reference/wind ... heck_files on how to do what you want.

Re: ESXi monitoring

ESXi does not provide SNMP access, but you can use Box293's vmware plugin to do it: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... re/details

Re: Product Keys

I think the OP is saying "can we get the license keys or Windows, Exchange, Office, and other applications installed on a remote Windows box by using using Nagios?" Not, "can we find out the Nagios license key?" Having said that, getting license keys is not straightforward. But y...

Re: Cluster IP or Load balance or ?

I guess I should pay more attention. :-) No, it can't proxy / load-balance syslog data. About the only thing that can do anything like that directly is rsyslog. A decent place to start is http://www.rsyslog.com/load-balancing-for-rsyslog But the point of logstash is to be able to take the data from ...

Re: Cluster IP or Load balance or ?

Aside from being a PITA to Bandit, my original "squid" response was to his comment: I was thinking about using HAProxy or something that I can install on the nodes and use a virtual IP between them. You have something that's simple to install as I have never installed any :( Squid makes a ...
