independant plugin

[Michel Cote]

Hi list,

First time poster here but I've read a lot of emails so many thanks for
that.

I don't know how to search for what I'm looking so I'm going to simply ask
and hope someone has seen or made something that would suit what I need.

So here's the setup:

I currently use Nagios to scan over 700 routers (Cisco 1800 series) on our
network.  Basically we have a little over 700 stores connected to the
internet and using a VPN to form a network with our servers.  So currently
Nagios is pinging those routers to make sure they are up and connected.

Behind those routeurs I have an office computer and several cash registers.
As a security precaution those computers are not reachable from my linux box
and Nagios of course.

There is a very simple system that allows those computers to send files back
to our servers by secure FTP.

Ok so what I'm looking for is a software that would work in the background
on those computers and scan for CPU usage, Memory, hard drives and if
possible temperature.  If certain conditions are met (like shortage of disk
space) a file would be produced in a specific folder and the our automatic
FTP system would grab it and transfer that to our servers... From there it's
a simple matter to transfer it to my linux box and make it availlable to
Nagios as a passive check.

Has anyone heard of such a software?  I've looked into NsClient++ but I have
no clue if it's able to save the scans to file if it does it would probably
be a pretty good tool for what I'm looking for.

Another question I have is about the passive check function.  I understand
how it works but what I'm not sure of is how to make sure the files that
would be produced by the remote software will be correctly formated for
Nagios to understand it.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.
