Can i know how to use nagios plugin? What are the common plugin that you all use? I know nagios can be able to check FTP, HTTP, PING, MYSQL,POP,SMTP,etc.
How does all this works? I had treid with PING and thats the only plugin i really know how it works. I am still study the others usage of nagios.
The plugins are essentially just clients for each of the servers, if they receive the expected response from the server then the check shows up as ok. If there is a problem it will fall into a warning, critical or unknown state.
Did anyone of you all write own plugins? Is it hard to write it?
Anyone use SMS notification rather than email notification. It saw from Nagios FAQ and stated we need to use yaps (Yet Another Pager Software). Anyone knows how to use it?
I've written a few, nothing really worthy of a release but I have one that connects to a gkrellm server to report on sensor information which I just need to clean up a bit. You can write them in any language so you aren't tied to anything in particular.
I also use sms notification but it uses an existing e-mail to sms gateway./
Can you post a simple nagios plugin shell script? I don't quite know the syntax of how these plugins work? I've tried looking online and it doesn't really help much. I need to write a tomcat plugin. Thanks...
There is no plugin to check if VNC service is up and running. Why not just use 'check_tcp' and specify the port that your VNC service is listening on? It's an easy check.
Thanks twantrd, but my question havent been asnswer yet. I need to check all the servers in the network, but i only know how to check on nagios (local) server. Do i need to define anything in checkcommands.cfg?
Anyone knows nagios having plugin to "trace route"?
Did you take a look at the documents that nagios provides? It tells you how to check services on different servers. The syntax is there. You should get an idea on how to set it up.
