Nagios Core Auto Discovery and Bandwidth Monitoring

Post by amithad »

Hi,

I was able to successfully install Nagios on Centos 7 using EPEL repo and yum utility. After going through Nagios log file I created some files ( inside /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/ direcory) so that the Nagios core to start properly.

Now I want to auto discover my 192.168.94.0/24 Subnet's both Windows and Linux PCs. Could you tell me how should I achieve this? and the second need is to monitor the top talkers of the LAN 8-) ( Top bandwidth eaters )

Thank you.

:)

Nagios core can't do autodiscovery, but using e.g Lilac-reloaded will do that just fine. As for your second question, I doubt Nagios can do this.

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/A ... 29/details I can confirm that this works with slight modification perhaps needed since you're using a repo install.

Nagios Core cannot do this unless the information is already sitting somewhere for it to grab.

I wrote an autodiscover script for Nagios Core.

I also wrote a check which checks if a new host was discovered :-)
If you need it, please let me know, I will put it on Nagios Exchange soon...
