> 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.
