Hi There

I have just started to use nagios and am very excited about what it can do. Although i am am a windows user and never really used linux, i now have it up and running on a vm of ubuntu desktop. I just had a few questions about it.

I am currently monitoring my windows 7 machine and our sbs 2011 server. I wanted to know how i can monitor exchange and all the various bits, i have seen scripts around but not sure what to put where (a real noob!) and also i wanted to monitor the health of the actual server e.g. disks, raid controller, psu all the kind of things that you can do with the dell openmanage software really. i assume this is a bit more advanced so i just need to get started and get my head around it.

Thanks for your help in advanced!

I'm going to move this topic to the Nagios XI general forum, you'll have better traffic on it then. Here's our admin manual to give you a walkthrough and get you started.
