OS X Mountain Lion

Post by johnemac »

Hi Forum,

We are getting Nagios running for our Mac Servers which are all going up to Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion soon. I have been having trouble getting the OS/X Agent to compile in Mountain Lion and have abandoned it for the standard NRPE. I have two questions:

Is NRPE the best way to monitor OS X? What about SNMP?
Is there a check that will tell me what the bandwidth of all my ethernet traffic is on all ports?

System configuration is attached.

Thanks,
-- jmca

The Agent should just install NRPE...

What errors were you getting?

As for monitoring SNMP would work just fine, we don't however have a wizard for that..

If you have SNMP setup on the Servers you may be able to simply run the Router/Switch wizard to monitor bandwith on all ports.

That's weird.

Can you run the following

Code: Select all

ls -l /Library/LaunchAgents/org.nagios.nrpe.plist
