Hello,
I have a Nagios server install on a Linux server and I would like monitor 5 Solaris 10 clients (I don't have DMZ problem).
Can you tell me what is the best choice ?
- NRPE (I don't find package for Solaris 10)
- NSCA
- RSH/SSH
- Other ...
Thank's for your reply.
Hi,
We also use nagios here.
We have nagios installed on a Linux system and we use it to monitor our Solaris systems. We use the NRPE client on Solaris 8 and Solaris 10.
You can download the source for the NRPE package from www.nagios.org and then compile it on a Solaris10 system. Once you've done that once you can use that compiled version on the other systems.
Regards,
Nico
I setup Nagios on a Solaris 10/SPARC system, both the server and the client software. I found that after much trial and error I needed to compile the plugins as 64bit binaries.
I also used the following when compiling with GCC 3.4.6 from SunFreeware.com, I had problems using the /usr/sfw/bin/gcc.
Use the CFLAGS options -m64 and -mtune=ultrasparc -mcpu=ultrasparc.
and LDFLAGS="-m64"
I found some decided to compile everything 64bit after having some problems with the check_procs plugin.
Also keep in mind to not run the plugins in a Solaris Zone. The reason being is that the check_procs plugin requires access to /dev/kmem which is not allowed in a non global Solaris zone. I know I tried. ;-)
NRPE can be compiled as 32bit though and it should run fine.
