In addition to what Karsten suggested, try running "nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg" > Any suggestions for alternate monitors? > My managers request is: > "I'm looking for is SNMP monitoring as well as PINGing, plus nice graphs." A good list of monitoring and trending tools can be found at: http://www.rrdtool.com/rrdworld/index.html Nagios has suited my needs for monitoring a couple services so I have explored any other tools. As for trending analysis tools, I've used smokeping and cricket. If you only want to track latency and network connectivity, smokeping is great. It is simple, easy to setup, and the graphs are nice. Examples of smokeping can be found from the link above. If you would like to gather and report on data from a variety of sources, give cricket a try. Cricket allows for you to easily setup lots of similar devices and collect data from SNMP, files, and executables.
