[Nagiosplug-help] Monitoring Linux cpu and memory with nrpe

[Nicole Albee]

Hi Paul,				



I use nrpe to check the cpu and memormy on a server other than the
 one running nagios.



I install nrpe on the remote server and enable xinetd which it runs
 through.  Then I get nrpe to work and call the checks through it.
 (first check nrpe by: check_nrpe or check_nrpe2 -H .... from the
 command line)



Nagios config files look like in services:





define service{

        use                           generic-service

        host_name                     <server name>

        service_description           DISK /

        is_volatile                   0

        check_period                  24x7

        max_check_attempts            3

        normal_check_interval         5

        retry_check_interval          1

        contact_groups                dump

        notification_interval         240

        notification_period           24x7

        notification_options          c,r

        check_command                 check_nrpe2!check_disk1

}



nrpe v 2 is not comatable with nrpe v 1.x.
