Hey Lucas,

The macports install of NRPE is straightforward on OS X Server. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of things exposed via SNMP with OS X. I created a couple check scripts that you might find useful.

1. check_xserve uses Marcel Bresink's Hardware Monitor tool to monitor the on-board hardware sensors:

2. check_osx_services interfaces with the serveradmin command to check the status of the various built-in OS X services. I haven't added any Leopard-specific checks yet, but it will check a lot of stuff on Tiger. I need to add the performance data to the script output, but everything else works well at this point.

Please let me know if you try these and find problems. I don't have a lot of Xserves to test with.

-Tim
