Is it a service which runs on a *nix/windows system? If so, you likely can with the standard nagios plugins package that is included in most NRPE installation documentation, if you can give us some more info on this that would be helpful.

this is how I monitor distributed nagios services.
from central nagios server:
Code: Select all
# i use multiple ports, you probably don't need this additional command if youhave check_nrpe ready.
define command{
command_name check_nrpe_l
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666-c $ARG1$
}
define service{
use generic-service
host_name nagios_mega
service_description -Nagios Running
check_command check_nrpe_l!check_nagios_proc
}
add this to the remote host nrpe config:
Code: Select all
command[check_nagios_proc]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_procs -c 1: -C nagios

What aspects of the daemon are you looking to monitor? If you are just looking to verify the service is running, that is easily done. However if you are looking for more indepth details such as internal queues and such, we would have to find a plugin for that specifically.

We are running Baricade MX service, which till date was running fine.
We have observed that from last few days mailwatchd service is going down automatically which is creating pain for me.
Is there any specific script or command that can help me resolve this issue.
Regards
Vicky

Is this a hardware appliance in your environment or is it installed on a server? If it is installed on a server, are you already monitoring that server using Nagios (and what is the server OS name)?
