Nagios agent

sigma_50 · 06-27-2008, 12:16 PM

I have installed Nagios2 (2.6-2) software on a Debian 4 server (kernel 2.6.18-6, i have made the cfg files for the hosts i have and the web interface all report the same values for the hosts as the localhost (server)
for example

Current Load
Current Users
Total Processes

and so on

Must i install a Nagios2 client on every host i want to monitor?
Thanks in advance.

It depends what you want to monitor. ping, ssh, rpc can all be done without an agent (nrpe) running on the host. Load, disk space etc need an agent

nrpe is the agent I use. There seems to be a good guide here -> http://www.crucialwebhost.com/blog/n...mote-services/

I have installed the nsca software on a client computer and there is still only data from the server itself thats reported from that client computer, i get the same data from the server PC and the client PC, why doesn't it work???? Thanks in advance
