Nagios and email

g_paschoal · 01-18-2012, 09:03 AM

I just finish setup nagios to monitor my servers. Now I want it to send me emails alerts. Can I do it on the localhost server it self ?

The server is a VPS.

What's the best way to do it ?

Thankss

Read the Nagios documentation, and follow it. By default, it's ALREADY enabled...and this question has been asked (and answered), on here MANY times, did you search for it?

Guys...

O have compiled nrpe-2.12.tar.gz on my servers... A lot of plugins got installed. Except for check_mem plugin. It's not a problem on the file I downloaded. I have done that several times. I also download versions 2.12 and 2.13 and the check_mem is not there.

I tied to make it work with a perl script I found online but it's not the same thing. Doesn't look nice on the Nagios web front end.

All the others plugins are compiled. How can I add a complied check_mem as well?

Thank you
