Linux health monitoring

[crash3m]

my $0.0000002 on the subject (it was $0.02, but uncle same had to take
his portion before I could pass it on to the LUG)

I'm using fruity 1.0b1pl3 with nagios 2.0b1pl4 here, its a PITA to
configure initially but its worth it once setup (both fruity and
nagios.)  The standard disclaimer for beta software applies twice
here.  Once nagios 2.0 has gone 'final' the fruity developer of course
plans on chasing all the loose cats into a corral and calling it
final.  Most of the issues I ran into with setting up fruity and
nagios has been user error.  So if you do take the plung, RTFM over
and over and over again.  either that or dont skim it 1400 times like
I did ;)  The functionality of nagios comes from the external plugins.
 Spend your time researching plugins for what you need to do.  I've
heard as of late there are issues with NRPE and windows machines,
luckily I dont have to mess with any windows machines...yet.

Regards,


Matt
