Nagios Support Forum

Hello Everyone,

Myself Kiran! I have a query regarding the list of things like what we can showcase in Nagios XI under Application Monitoring and also Infrastructure Monitoring. I want to know the list of things like to monitor in Infrastructure Monitoring in Nagios XI as well as Application Monitoring in Nagios XI like in Infrastructure Monitoring
Checking metrics every X minutes/seconds: 1)Disk/CPU/Memory Usage 2)Server Ports 3)Alerting 4)Root Partition.

Currently I'm using Nagios XI. I'm preparing a neat representation manner. So please answer my query like stating the things what we can monitor in Application & Infrastructure Monitoring too.

Henceforth, I request you people please answer my query as early as possible by providing the required information.

It's going to be very difficult to give specific information without knowing what types of servers and infrastructure you want to monitor.
Here are instructions for installing our Linux agent: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... _Agent.pdf (you could also use SNMP)
Here are instructions for installing our Windows agent: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/ncp ... g_NCPA.pdf (you could also use NSClient, WMI, or SNMP)
UNIX instructions are going to depend on what type of UNIX. There is a Solaris wizard. AIX, BSD, and HPUX can all use SNMP or NRPE, but you will need to compile the NRPE agent on newer versions of AIX. Depending on which version of Linux, you may also need to compile NRPE.

Nagios can monitor anything that can return a 0 or 1. The question is going to be whether a plugin already exists or if you will need to write one. There are currently almost 4200 plugins listed at https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins but there are more on github and around the web if you use your favorite search engine. The base install comes with 60 different wizards.

What I would suggest is starting a new thread for each OS you are trying to monitor, if you want details. It will be very difficult to keep things straight if we try to handle multiple OSes in a single thread.

Here's a link to our manual, which I hope you find useful: https://library.nagios.com/library/prod ... i/manuals/
