Just been looking at the plugins in my ../libexec-DIR. ( I have Nagios 2.4 runing ) I found something to work with , but it looks like "the-long-way" Would like to put my problem together with a possible solution. Would like to know if there is a better way. Problem: I have a distributed Nagios system : One master; one slave. The master nagios is also my master time-server The slave-nagios is also my slave-time-server. I need to check the tnp-procs on both the servers. Possible solution: I see that there is a check_procs plugin. This however, only checks processes on the local machine. I can check for the ntp proc: ( On the master ) : check_procs -a ntpd With this command I cannot check if ntp is running on my slave-nagios. To do this, I'd have to define a new service-check on the main nagios, accepting info from the slave-nagios about the ntpd-service running there. This seems very cumbersome. I also see that there is a check_ntp, but this checks clock accuracies etc which I don't want at this stage. I just need to know if the ntpd is running. Is there a way I can check a proc on another machine ?? Thanks ! JOhn </BODY> </HTML>
