Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Hosts without use plugins

Hello, 
I need to monitor to see if hosts are UP or DOWN, but my hosts are
network devices that can not be installed any plugin for nagios as the
NCSA. 
What we need is that the nagios track every time and let a message
(sends a message by email or cell phone) if the host is down (without
using any type of plugin for the device monitored. On the server
management can be installed plugins nagios if necessary.) 
Do it possible with nagios? 

Version used: 3.0.6 nagios

Hi. You can just use the standard tcp/ip plugins to monitor hosts (see
config file examples and of course,  see the manual/docs, it's all
there). 
I try to use snmpd instead of nrpe/ncsa as it's easier to maintain /
upgrade IMO, but many setups require a client for various reasons...

jamie
