Network Bandwidth Utilization metric for linux server

Post by anoop »

Hi,

We installed Nagiso Xi Server and tried to monitor the private services like users, load, total process.. But how we need to monitor the network bandwidth utilization for a linux server using NRPE Plugin.

And also how to monitor private services in windows servers.
System:
Nagios XI Version : 2012R2.2 | PHP Version: 5.3.3
Offloaded MySQL DB on another virtual machine
16 CPU with 2 cores each | 32 GB RAM | 1 TB HDD
CentOS-6.3 |Total = 4,000 hosts| 40,000 services.

You could incorporate this into your linux monitoring suite:

What do you mean by "private" windows services? Are you asking about actual monitoring of windows services?

I would follow the steps to get off the ground via the Windows Server monitoring wizard, this will guide you to install the agent and get it up and monitoring. Otherwise you can follow:

This is not a feature of Nagios XI, however you could look at other windows management tools to push out NSclient++ and a configuration file to all the servers. You could use a tool such as puppet:
