Nagios Support Forum

Hi all,

We are trying to monitor a FreeBSD server using the Linux Server Wizard. The communication between the NagiosXi server and the FreeBSD's NRPE works perfectly but as there is no linux-nrpe-agent for FreeBSD can anyone tell us which plugins need to be used for:

• check_cpu_stats
  check_mem
  check_open_files
  check_services
  check_swap

We have tryed to install the linux-nrpe-agent on a CentOS hoping to find those plugins in /usr/local/nagios/libexec... And on Nagios Exchange many plugins exists for those check and we would like to know which one are the goods with allowing the perf to obtain graph also.

Thanks in advance,

Aurelien.

You can get the latest nagios plugins pack from the following URL, and install them from source. After installation you'll just have to verify the directory locations of the plugins in your NRPE config.

After installing nagios-plugins i got those:
check_apt
check_network
check_breeze
check_nntp
check_by_ssh
check_nntps
check_clamd
check_nrpe2
check_cluster
check_nt
check_dhcp
check_ntp
check_dig
check_ntp_peer
check_disk
check_ntp_time
check_disk_smb
check_nwstat
check_dns
check_oracle
check_dummy
check_overcr
check_file_age
check_ping
check_flexlm
check_pop
check_fping
check_procs
check_ftp
check_radius
check_game
check_real
check_hpjd
check_rpc
check_http
check_sensors
check_icmp
check_simap
check_ifoperstatus
check_smtp
check_ifstatus
check_snmp
check_imap
check_spop
check_ircd
check_ssh
check_jabber
check_ssmtp
check_load
check_swap
check_log
check_syslodng
check_logfiles
check_tcp
check_logfiles-2.3.2.1
check_time
check_logfiles-2.3.2.1.tar.gz
check_udp
check_logfiles.orig
check_ups
check_mailq
check_users
check_mem
check_wave
check_mrtg
negate
check_mrtgtraf
test.cfg
check_mysql
urlize
check_mysql_query
utils.pm
check_nagios
utils.sh


This solve the problem for check_mem and check_swap. I guess check_cpu_stats is a command using check_load and check_services using check_procs but what about check_open_files ?

Should be this one:

Thanks for your answers.

For those who also want to Monitor FreeBSD server using this Wizard, check_cpu_stats and check_open_files doesn't work yet for FreeBSD.

Ah, good to know. Thanks for the heads up!
