Emne: [Nagios-users] Remote check.... using nsca?

 

Hey folks,

I tryed to play a bit with nsca and I'm able to send some text message to
test it and that's works fine, but I have a couple of question about that...

1- Why I would use nsca to monitor something? How I should use it (example)?


Well at my work we have a lot of servers hosted somewhere else (our
productionservers) and our testserver placed in house. Instead of having to
different interfaces etc – then you use nsca to commit the results of check
to the other location and then have watch it all on 1 interface. 

 Can I use some plugin with nsca?

yes

  How can I monitor Windows workstation remotly, for disk, memory, cpu
usage, etc...?

Well I use the snmp on all host (linux,windows) both places and the result
are sent  :-)


2- If I need to monitor a remote site with a couple of
workstation/switches/router, what could be the best way to monitor it if I
can't monitor it directly (remote site with dynamic external IP). 

Well if you have static IP one place – Set the Master machine there – and
having nsca send the results to that (again :-)  )

So basicly it sounds like you should read the manual more about the nsca ( I
have been there :-( )  and well then go ahead.

It’s really not that difficult when you’re in it.
