Add a linux host to monitor.

Hi,

what is the best agent to monitor e.g. disks and cpu for Linux machines? nrpe?

[jdalrymple]

Yup - NRPE

You can also use NCPA, that is the hopeful future, but today NRPE is the quickest and easiest to get going with. SNMP would be your other big option.

ok thank you,

I'm in some trouble installing the nrpe plugin, it was not in the repository list so i downloadid and tried to installid it manually without a luck.

any idea what version of nrpe i can use with Centos 7 ?

2.15 works fine... Use our install document and it will lead you right through:
