Check for file in directory and process in memory

[priht]

Hello,

I would like to do the following using Nagios:

- check whether a file exists in a particular directory, on a remote server

- check whether a particular process (eg, rsync) is running in memory on that server

How would you do that in Nagios?

Many thanks.

For simple process checking I would recommend check_procs which comes standard with any nagios installation, here is the manpage for it's requirements:

For file checking I would recommend this very simple plugin found on our exchange site:

Have you set up service's and command definitions before and understand how to do so?

Hi,

thanks for you reply.

No I haven't. A colleague of mine has shown me the object directory, but that's about it.
