system monitoring with Nagois


Hello,

I have several systems I would like to monitor. Right now I just care about the system time.

I am going to start off by simply monitoring the system time and want my monitoring SW to alert me if it differs more than 5 minutes from the local time on the monitoring system. (My systems seem to have a huge time drift even after I setup NTP) Will Nagois do this?

In the future I would also like to monitor such things as disk usage (capacity and how busy), memory use, various process' I want to know if a process dies or not. Will Nagois do this?

If not do you have any recommendations on SW for this task.

Sure, if you're just checking a number, then it's kinda impossible for nagios to not be able to do it, as it just runs an arbitrary script which returns a value. http://exchange.nagios.org/directory...s/NTP-and-Time

Thanks
It looks like the function "check_daytime" is what I'm looking for.
