Well, there is one major difference, 12.04 is LTS (long term support), and 12.10 is a preview. The x.04 version of ubuntu are used in production, I have yet to hear anyone deploying x.10 versions into live environments.

The LTS shouldn't really affect me. This server will always be in a Sandbox enviroment for the next few months while testing. Plus it will/should add more credability to my project if I'm using a server which is currently used in production/business.

Progress at last!

So I changed my server to Ubuntu 12.04.1 and tried Tony's guide (which worked great by the way). Now there's positives and negatives.

Code: Select all

/Disk Usage says: DISK OK - Free Space /14101MB (90% inode=96%)
Which i think is normal and correct?
However, the negative side, my CPU usage says the following

Code: Select all

UNKNOWN: Isostat not found or is not executable by the nagios user
Any idea's?

Unfortunately it looks like most new versions of ubuntu come without the systat utilities, run the following and then re run the disk check:

Code: Select all

apt-get install sysstat

(Ignore the Netns, was just to see if it worked)

Thanks so much to Abrist and everyone who's helped me over the last few days, I've learnt alot. I guess I'm going to have to stop spamming these forums now :). Thread can be marked as resolved :)

FYI, we added "quantal" to the nagiosinc ppas, so now you can install the linux agent on Ubuntu Server 12.10 as well.
