Nagios Support Forum

How can I check to verify a service (program) is run on a Mac os??

Same way you would on any other Unix system. You need to have either an agent running on the Mac (like NRPE) or you need to have SSH access that allows you to log in from the nagios user on the Nagios server without a password. Then you can use either check_nrpe or check_by_ssh to check something on the Mac.

If the service has an open port that can be checked externally, then you can just check that with either check_tcp or check_http or some other plugin that may check for what you're looking for without requiring an agent running on the Mac.

JohnFLi, are we clear to lock this up?

Yes....you can close this.
Thank you
