I have just completed a full day with only 1 hour sleep, pretty brutal...the funny thing is that I am running on zero caffeine within my system. Anyway, I have some good news and some news that indicates I am close to achieving my objective, but still not quite at the status of completion. Well I had the opportunity to work on client setup of Nagios on a system separate from the host monitoring system. FIrst off, I must say that most recent experience, while working on this particular task, that gained some very insightful background knowledge of how Nagios works and how the entire monitoring process unfolds from the backend. There are some many configuration files for this setup, which only helps to make this system monitoring even more intriguing.
My efforts so far have seen me setup the NRPE (Nagios Remote Plug-in Executor) daemon and additonal NRPE plugins on a second system. This setup was also implemented on the host system as well. I was able to get the host to communicate with client very briefly based on a test that verifies that the host can access the appropriate port setup (Registered port 5666) on the client. From that test I was able to obtain the version number of the installed plug-in on the client, which was as expected. However, the minor road block encountered at the moment is the monitoring of the processes from the host machine, which is due to some form host name (naming issue) in the template file created, which will carry out the monitoring process as per specifications set within. Will be working on that during the continuation of the day, with hopes of putting this baby to bed...goodnight. Oops. It is Friday morning. Will provide further details as they become available.
