Monitoring Older Servers

[barry_mclellan]

Hello, we have several (100+) old servers in our environment:
> HP-UX 10.01, 11.11, 11.0, 11.23
> Solaris Sparc 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
> Solarix x86 9, 10
> VaxVMS

Would Nagio's be a good fit to monitor these old servers? Where would you being to look for such things as monitoring hardware failures or performance metrics on an old Solaris 7 server?


Thanks!

Yes this should be doable, if by nothing else you could use check_by_ssh, NRPE, NCPA, or a myriad of passive checks/agent combinations. It's really just down to how you want to do it, and what type of information you want to gather from each type of system.

Hello,

Do you know if there are already any existing Solaris binaries out there that may save me some work?



Thanks!

Here are some links, but due to certain dependency/library issues, your mileage may vary:

Thanks! Hopefully this will work on our Solaris 10 servers!
