need to monitor

Post by manimurugesan »

Hello Team,

Please suggest for the below

1) Multiple CPU loads (If a server has multiple CPUs – As is the case will all servers in estate) we need the load to be monitored for each CPU individually to get correct picture.
2) Along with disk utilization, also monitor disk performance (eg response times) on servers – This is especially important as we do not monitor SAN in Nagios so will be very handy.

To provide a detailed answer, we would need to know which Operating System and release the remote servers are running as the commands to retrieve the data could be different.

To gather this information, an agent would have to be installed on the remote servers.
Do you have an existing agent installed on the servers and is so, which one and what version is it?

We do have an agent called NCPA that could meet your needs. See this link for details.
https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/help.php

Under the API Reference, take a look at the cpu section and it has an example of CPU Usage per core.
Same for the disk section for the reference on what you can test for the disk checks.

Hello Team,

The operating systems for which this is required are Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows server 2016.

They have 4 CPU's in one OS , so agent we will install .

For disk we need to monitor with disk performance e.g. response time .

Please suggest we can monitor this using nsclient agent multiple CPU and disk performance ?

Yes, you should be able to monitor CPU and disk performance using NSClient++.

The following links have some example commands you can use to create the checks you want for the CPU and Disk checks.

If you can find the Windows Performance Counter that gives you the data you are looking for, then you can create a check of that counter in Nagios and the following link are some examples that work with NSClient++.

That should get you what you want.
