Nagios capabalities

[lafargeuser]

We are doing POC of NagiosXI for one of our client. requirement is stated below. require you help to achieve this requirement . please share your comments & how can achieve this with XI.

how we can set response time and roundtrip time threshold for URL
how can monitor hardware health of switch/router (Power/Chasis/Fan/CPU/Memory)
how to capture SNMP traps from Non-SNMP devices in nagios
how to monitor Microsoft Hyper V
RHEV monitoring using nagios
mysql monitoring using nagios
postgress monitoring using nagios
mongo db monitoring monitoring using nagios
ibm mq monitoring monitoring using nagios
citrix monitoring monitoring using nagios

Note- please provide what all access required to monitor the Mysql, postgress & mongo db

That's quite a list!

In general, the things you have listed can be set up pretty easily via the included config wizards (except for SNMP traps, that needs to be configured on the remote machine if it does not already send traps). If you have specific troubles with any of the features in XI, we can address those issues but this is a fairly long list for us to go into detail on each step. We do offer free Quickstart sessions if you would like to schedule a time to go over the product:

Otherwise if you need more time this would fall under consulting and would necessitate a conversation with Sales.

how can monitor hardware health of switch/router (Power/Chasis/Fan/CPU/Memory)

Our switch and router wizard will often grab these metrics, but often times it will not. It's all based upon what the underlying tool (mrtg) decides to create metrics for. I've personally requested that the developers enhance the functionality so that some of the simple hardware functionality of switches and routers is monitored, but to this point it hasn't been implemented. Your best bet at this point is to use Consol Labscheck_nwc_health plugin.

how to capture SNMP traps from Non-SNMP devices in nagios

This makes no sense to me. Can you give an example? A non-SNMP device will be unable to send traps.

how to monitor Microsoft Hyper V

Generally speaking, Hyper-V is just a Windows server. Monitoring using the Windows Server tools/wizards should work fine for you.

RHEV monitoring using nagios

Like above, RHEV is just another Linux box. Using Linux server tools/wizards should work fine.

how to capture SNMP traps from Non-SNMP devices in nagios

loading MIB of network devices to get alert trap on nagios

how to monitor Microsoft Hyper V
How will i do indepth monitoring of it. is there any plugin available e.g. guest machine status,health etc




RHEV monitoring using nagios

how do i do indepth monitoring

Also do we have plugin / wizard for citrix monitoring

loading MIB of network devices to get alert trap on nagios

This is a common use-case for Nagios.

The Exchange is where we encourage the community to bring plugins they've developed:

Admittedly plugins specific to KVM and HyperV virtualization are slim. With HyperV almost everything is likely going to be available via performance counter which is part of the Windows Server wizard - you just have to put in the counters you want to monitor when going through the wizard. With KVM, NRPE can return data from any arbitrary command you write. I do a lot of KVM virtualization personally and have seriously considered creating a nice KVM plugin, however I don't really *NEED* to monitor anything in my environment besides those things that are OS level, CPU, Memory, Disk IO, the like. They're not really specific to hypervisor use. What is it specifically you wish to (in depth) monitor?

Also do we have plugin / wizard for citrix monitoring

No wizard besides Windows Server (I assume you mean XenApp when you say Citrix) but there are Exchange items:
