(or maybe it's already been asked too many times :P)</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Pronouncing Nagios, I remember seeing a post which says something about the FAQ's which state 'say it how you want' As for WINS - Two things you could do, Check port 42 using check_tcp for connections - which will tell you if the service is up - but not necessarily if it is working as expected, or use check_snmp and OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.311.1.2.x for various statistics. (look at <A HREF="http://www.mibcentral.com/" TARGET="_blank">http://www.mibcentral.com/</A> for a full listing of things you can get out of it (great site - thanks to whoever pointed it out on this mailing-list)) I have yet to work out a way of testing the actual response received (I am not looking to write my own plugins at this time). -----Original Message----- From: David Rippel [<A HREF="mailto:RippelD@hillsboroughcounty.org">mailto:RippelD@hillsboroughcounty.org</A>] Sent: 11 October 2002 13:59 To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Best question ever asked on this list to date! (or maybe it's already been asked too many times :P) Ok, first of all, much thanks to everyone for the excellent response on my MS SQL monitoring question. Secondly, now that I am really starting to dig Nagios, I have one big huge problem... How do you pronounce Nagios?! :) ... On a more serious note, does anyone have a good way to monitor WINS?
