Linux disk Monitoring

[qsteel]

Hi,

Gotta an issue monitoring Disk usage on Linux and Unix servers

Let me start of with the Linux part,

Have been trying to monitor the disk space usage of the server but get up ending the message sayin connection refused by host!!
Thought the issue could be because the agent was not instaled on the host.
Have followed the document which gives you steps by step instruction on how to install the agent on the host
But still in vain ....
Have attached the doc that i refered to to instal the agent


Could some one please help me out on this...

Thanks
Jeff

You might want to try and use the Static Linux Agent in Nagios Exchange.

You did't specify what distribution/flavor/pointer-size/ect.

As for unix:
SunOS can be done using code source wave.
AIX has binaries for download as well.
HP I'm unsure of, though I'd imagine it must be vary simple.
Others try building from source, report any problems to this forum we'd be glad to help.

Hey thanks for the Reply

Well i was eventually able to monitor the disk space on a linux box.
Configured the agent on a new linux box and followed the steps as mentioned in the doc
Guess i did forget to tell you i was using Nagiosxi


Just a quick question, can i use the same Linux Wizard on Nagios xi to monitor the HP servers as well:?
will the agent i need to instal on the UX box create any issue to monitor the disk space?

Hopin for a quick reply

Regards
Jeff

The Static Linux Agent will not work, but the Linux Agent built from source should. HP also has precompiled copy of the software that might work using our config file.

I'm actually using good 'ole NRPE to monitor Linux disk usage in our NagiosXI monitoring environment. It works quite well once you get the hang of the installation and know where all the config files are!
