How to use Nagios XI to monitor a TPAM system

[neil_745]

Hello,

Is there anyway a TPAM 2.5.x Physical Appliance can be monitored with Nagios XI? If yes, how? Does it require NCPA agent on it?

Thank you,

Neil

Hi Neil,

What about this would you like to monitor? Specifically. Very specifically.

"Will it monitor" is a one of my favorite games to play, so I googled some.

Looks like the physical appliance runs windows 2008 https://support.oneidentity.com/tpam/kb ... -appliance

You could use NCPA 3.0.1 https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/archive.php assuming you have access to the OS and rights to install software.

Looks like the application itself is a Java app. Does it have an API you can hit? If it does you might not need NCPA.

Can it send alerts in any format on its own that XI might receive?

Does it send SNMP traps?

Thank you for your reply. No, it does not send SNMP traps

The goal is to monitor HTTPS service checks (verifying TPAM UI is reachable), and many other OS service checks.
No access to the OS

You can check to see if port 443 is open easily enough, and/or fetch a url using check_http.
You might start by making a list of what you do now to check the system manually.
How does the mfgr recommend it be monitored?

Hi @neil_745,

Without access to the OS, I don't know how you'll get OS-level metrics, and that would be true for Nagios or any other approach to monitoring. Unless there's some API in that application that helps you get OS-level metrics because the app gets them, I don't see what you can do.

Does the mfr publish the API docs? How does it return? As json?
