Hi,

Came across your useful plugin for monitoring Linux Stats. I have downloaded the check_linux perl package and installed it on my remote server. But I’ve issues to run the following plugin. To be honest I’m a newbie into this nagios monitoring server and how to configure it. Appreciate if you could lead me to the correct direction

As far as my concerned my steps is as below

At host/remote server

1. root@server# cd /root/nagios
2. root@server nagios# wget http://exchange.nagios.org/components/com_mtree/attachment.php?link_id=2516&cf_id=24
3. root@server nagios# tar –zxvf Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.66.tar.gz
4. root@server nagios# cd Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.66
5. root@server Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.66# perl Makefile.PL
6. root@server Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.66# make
7. root@server Sys-Statistics-Linux-0.66# make install
8. root@server# vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg

and I add the harcoded command argument in the nrpe.cfg

# Check network usage on eth0
command[check_net]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_linux_stats.pl -N -w 1000000 -c 1500000 -p eth0 -s 5

9. restart xinetd service && restart nrpe service


At monitoring server

1. Install theLinux Stats plugin same as above

2. go to cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/service.cfg and add the following:

define service{
use generic-service
host_name fastrocom.com
service_description Network Usage
check_command check_nrpe!check_net
}
3. go to cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/command.cfg and add the following:

# 'check_net_usage' command definition
define command{
command_name check_net
command_line $USER1$/check_net -I $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

I believe I miss a few steps and due to this I’m unable to generate the report at Nagios monitoring System. If I go to /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ there is no linux stats plugin available at that directory

Your guidance and advice is highly appreciated
