Monitoring fileshare drive?

Post by DerekNagiosXI »

Hello, seeking guidance to monitor a few fileshare drives for customer. They provided url, I do see an oracle config wizard for Nagios which would require username and password but wanted to check if a more easy way to just monitor the fileshare location by setting up the url?

What type of file share is it? CIFS/NFS/etc?

What type of device/OS is the file share stored on?

You could mount the share up to the XI system and then use Configure > Configuration Wizards > Mountpoint wizard.

Thanks for the response.

File share is NFS.
OS is Windows server 2016.

How are you currently monitoring those Server 2016 systems (WMI/SNMP/SSH or an agent such as NCPA)? Or are you?
