I want to configure nagios snmp to monitor remote hosts.How can I create service and commands.cfg I need an example using check_snmp_disk to monitor remote host Thanx..

Well, if you need examples, did you try looking at the Nagios site and/or the Nagios exchange, where they list MANY?
http://www.nagios.com/solutions/snmp-traps
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory...d-HOWTOs/page7
http://xavier.dusart.free.fr/nagios/en/snmptraps.html

Well, I decided to use http://www.norgie.net/tools/check_snmp_disks/, but it seemed to me it needed a few tweaks, so the amended version is attached.

}

Actually I want to make this code work How can I do it Looks complicated for me thanx for your replies

That's because it is "new" and that will pass.
The information you need is buried in one of these links below, but you will need to acquire the specifics yourself. Pay special attention to values in specifically these:
Get away from the check_whatever stuff for the time being and focus on the basics of snmp, such as
Where IP is the IPA.DDR.ESS of the server you wish to monitor. Do this on Cacti host.
The above commands are NOT part of the Cacti install. The information you seek using snmp can be gathered with or without Cacti.

I found my solution by reading up some of, or all of these...

and please don't get it twisted, just because it says "Zabbix" or "Cacti" or whatever, they are talking about communicating with a remote host using the snmp basics.

We don't use Cacti any further, (unless someone pays for it) in favor of Zabbix for our c9 internal monitoring.

Good Luck.
