SNMP and Nagio newbie question.

[Matt Lozier]

Mark,

 

Well, I'm trying to monitor both.  I just want to be able to get a listing
at a moment's notice of which applications are installed on a given machine.
Seems that it would be easy enough, using the check_snmp plugin, to write a
wrapper program that will notify me via e-mail should a given application be
installed on someone's machine, or if a given application was removed from a
machine.  But I'd really like to get a listing of all of the installed apps.


 

I currently use SNMP w/Nagios to get a listing of all running applications
(everything that gets listed in the task manager) and services on a given
machine, and I'd like to have similar functionality with installed programs.

 

All advice is appreciated.

 

Thank you,

What exactly are you wanting to monitor? Are you looking to make sure
certain things are installed or trying to make sure that nothing outside of
certain things get installed? I think that more information is needed in
order to discern what is best for you.
