We are going to install Nagios monitoring tool and Nagat for configuring the nagios sctuff. If you search Sourceforge you will see a few different nagat tools that users have written to do different stuff. I am also going to include the nrpe_nt executable, the wincheck_counter (this does command line perfmons on windows) and a vb script that does services up or down state. The great thing about Nagios is you can make your own Plugins for it etc...

 

This how-to requires apache and php to be installed and configured correctly!

 

Get nagios and decompress it.

Review the options above for accuracy.  If they look okay,

type 'make all' to compile the main program and CGIs.

 

continue installation:

make all

make install

 

You can continue with installing Nagios as follows (type 'make'

without any arguments for a list of all possible options):

 

  make install-init

    - This installs the init script in /etc/rc.d/init.d

 

  make install-commandmode

    - This installs and configures permissions on the

      directory for holding the external command file

 

  make install-config

    - This installs *SAMPLE* config files in /usr/local/nagios/etc

      You'll have to modify these sample files before you can

      use Nagios.  Read the HTML documentation for more info

      on doing this.  Pay particular attention to the docs on

      object configuration files, as they determine what/how

      things get monitored!

thanks

How do i get to see who is connected to my ftp,

what they are downloading and how fast they are downloading?

 

Using vsftpd on fedora core 2.

hey anyweb, maybe you (or someone else) can help me out with this one...

 

I'm running Debian 3.1 "Sarge" on my notebook...

 

It was running 2.4 kernel okay but I wanted the ACPI to turn off my notebook automatically... so I upgraded to 2.6.7...

 

Under 2.4 my touch pad worked fine (tap-to-click and scroll bars) now after upgrading... my touchpad moves very fast... which is okay because I just slowed down the mouse acceleration... but i can't tap or scroll now... I downloaded the synaptics driver... i installed it through apt-get and I also download the source... did my make and make install... added *what I assume to be* the correct entries into the XF86Config-4 file and restarted X... then I had no mouse activity at all.. so i just commented out the lines I added in the file... and it works okay now... because it doesn't load the synaptics driver...

 

If anyone has the XF86Config-4 file from their laptop running debian on a 2.6.7 kernel... stick it up... I can't seem to get this to work....

have a look :)

i'm putting up this poll becuase for a month or two, fcr2 was hard locking on me, sometimes a few times per day, very very frustrating, i was just about to go back to fcr1 when i disabled apache (8 running processes)

 

since then, i have not had one single crash,

 

apache was compiled the same way as i did it in fcr1 (which by the way, this site is running on with uptime of 122 days atm)

 

cheers

I'm asking for anyone's help with getting another x-windows manager for SuSe 9.1 personal working, for some reason it seems to be blocking anything but KDE.
