Hi Team,
( 1)
Is there tools like zabbixproxy in nagios to monitor remote(geographically) servers .Please let me know,if any tools available .


(2)
Also , I have installed transcoder in one of my production pc and added to nagios.It is running on 8888

#nestat -ant |grep -w 8888

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8888 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 18902/ld-linux-x86-
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8888 127.0.0.1:56397 ESTABLISHED 18902/ld-linux-x86-
tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:56396 127.0.0.1:8888 TIME_WAIT -

tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:56355 127.0.0.1:8888 TIME_WAIT -

but while running check_http command with below parameter

# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H localhost -p 8888

HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 501 Not Implemented - 145 bytes in 0.002 second response time |time=0.002109s;;;0.000000 size=145B;;;0

Dont know, about this error .There is no weburl for transcoder .

To come out of this ,wrote a small script as given below

#############################################################
#!/bin/bash
#To monitor transcoder with process
ps -aef |grep -v grep |grep transcode >/dev/null
VALUE=$?
if [ "$VALUE" = 0 ]; then
echo "Transcoder Running"
exit 0
else
echo "Transcoder is not running"
exit 2
fi

1)Need some info or url for nagios proxy like zabbix proxy

2)Is it reliable to monitor application with only port numbers
and why I am getting the error

3)Is the script is fine to check processes .Is there standard template shell script to follow .

Expecting someone to resolve since this is production ,can't do much R&D on PCs .

Actually, I'm having a little problem understanding your questions, but the following may help

1. to check a remote website that I have to pass through a proxy to get out to the internet, I use
where 1.2.3.4 is the IP of my (outgoing) proxy
http://nagiosplugins.org/man/check_http

2. no idea what 'transcoder' is, but unless it understands std HTTP, that won't work.
Either find a nagios check that understands transcoder eg try the official nagios plugins mentioned in (1.) and also http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins
OR
use NRPE http://exchange.nagios.org/directory...ecutor/details & http://exchange.nagios.org/directory...tation/details to use eg your script to run locally on the remote system and have server nagios ping the nrpe client and retrieve the results.

Incidentally, transcoder appears to be running TCP/IP v4 and v6; you probably don't need v6.

Thanks for reply,

My 1st question is totally different .

we have two geographically separated locations(2 networks).Is it possible with single Nagios monitoring server to monitor 2 networks .
#################################################################

Nagios server ------> Monitoring Location 1(private subnet) India


Nagios(proxy or agent ) -------> Monitoring Location 2(private subnet) US


###################################################################
Here nagios proxy or agent will collect the information from location 2 and feed data to nagios sever .both nagios server and nagios proxy server will have public ip to communicate each other .It is possible in Nagios environment .

Hi there,

Check for netstat connections if they are listed, if so its very easy to monitor them
