Nagios XI SNMP collection on discovery mode

[rashidaq]

I am getting SNMP results from that host on the Nagios such as syscpu and memcpu and system level snmp
so snmp is set to -v2c and community string too and snmpd enabled

but when doing the process check thru nagios it says connection refused

thanks

Do you have UDP port 161 open on the remote host? We also need to know what type of system this is, Windows, *nix "if so what distro," etc.

We need to you answer our questions accurately so we can help you. Can you also post the following here:

Navigate to Configure > CCM > Services > "click the diskette icon next to your service that is returning the connection refused" and paste the output on that page in a reply here "In code wraps."

[rashidaq]

here is the results for the host connection refused, collected from disk icon

Okay, so there are quite a few service checks beyond what we needed, I was hoping to get the same service configuration that you noted beforehand. If this is in fact a NRPE check is port 5666 open on the remote host? Can you run the following from the nagios CLI and share it's output:

Code: Select all

nmap -p 5666,162 <address of remote host>

[rashidaq]

Here is the attached

thanks in advance

it seems I have to install npre agents and plugins to
But we have several of these servers in the Virtual(VMware) form too for a cloud setup


thanks

[sreinhardt]

You are correct, to use check_nrpe, you do need to install the nrpe\nsca agent on the remote system. However there is also the alternative of check_by_ssh, which would only require the plugins or scripts you wish to run, and a user for nagios to login and execute as.

[rashidaq]

thanks Steven
the mysql process is monitored by nagios successfully, but why cant other apps/processes by monitored by Nagios without any
host installation?
you suggested that
"However there is also the alternative of check_by_ssh, which would only require the plugins or scripts you wish to run, and a user for nagios to login and execute as."

these plugins and scripts are run on the monitored host?
how to do this check_by_ssh and then run the scripts or plugins, where?

please explain?
