nagios client for security/asset mgmt..

[bruce]

eng...

thanks for the reply...

however, my understanding of nagios, is that it can use client apps, and
that it can monitor the outputs/states of these apps (depending on the
clients/nagios settings...)

if that's the case, my original question is valid, as i'm trying to figure
out if clients have been developed/used to do what i suggested...

Nagios _monitors_ stuff.

To accurately monitor, you need known quantities.  Nagios checks these known
quantities at regular intervals and alerts when they change or are out of
bounds.

Assessing a system is a different beast.  All the quantities are unknown.
After assessment, you end with a database of known quantities, which you can
THEN plug in the important ones into nagios to monitor.


I suggest you look at some tools that may better match your needs:
psinfo
nmap
WINventory
