Monitoring communication between servers

[abouhami]

Hi All,

I am still new to Nagios and I need to monitor communication between two servers. Would that involve installing a Nagios client on both machines and then write some kind of script that sends data to the main Nagios Server? any king of help and guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you in advancce,

Amine

What type of systems?

You could install an agent on one of the machines (NRPE) along with plugins and then add a command like

Code: Select all

command[check_remote]/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H <OTHER_MACHINE_IP> -w 200.0,40% -c 400.0,80% -p 1

Then call from Nagios with check_nrpe
