i have done most of the setup for MRTG network monitor tool.
But i m stuck at configuration part.
the actual MRTG guide says following.
I m little confused about what should i put inplace of community@router.abc.xyz.
Quote:
The next step is to configure mrtg for monitoring a network device. This is done by creating an mrtg.cfg file which defines what you want to monitor. Luckily, you don't have to dive straight in and start writing your own configuration file all by yourself. Together with mrtg you also got a copy of cfgmaker. This is a script you can point at a router of your choice; it will create a mrtg configuration file for you. You can find the script in the bin subdirectory.
This example above will create an mrtg config file in /home/mrtg/cfg assuming this is a directory visible on your webserver. You can read all about cfgmaker in cfgmaker. One area you might want to look at is the possibility of using --ifref=ip to prevent interface renumbering troubles from catching you.
If you want to start rolling your own mrtg configuration files, make sure you read mrtg-reference to learn all about the possible configuration options.

Is there a way to monitor a wall outlet with nagios.I want to check if we got some power out of a wall outlet.This is to check whether we are running on the electricity network or on our diesel power generator.The wall outlet is connected only to the electricity network, so if there is no more power coming out of the outlet that mean that we are running on the diesel power generator.
Trying to monitor mysql 5.0.77 with nagios 3.2.1 under CentOS 5.4. Everything with nagios has been running without a hitch for me, however, when I added the following to /etc/nagios/objects/localhost.cfg to try to monitor mysql, I get an error that reads "Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR! Restart aborted. Check your Nagios configuration."
define service{ use local-service host_name localhost service_description MYSQL check_command check_mysql notifications_enabled 1 }
This is pretty much what I added to monitor other things on the server such as ftp and smtp, just switched out check_smtp with check_mysql, etc.

Troubleshooting Nagios configuration? I'm already done with the installation and it's working fine. Now I'm working on adding Windows Server in Nagios to be monitored but the problem is my cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/commands.cfg and cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/objects/windows.cfg there's no such /etc/nagios3/objects directory is existing on my nagios directory.
Updating my install of OpenSUSE from 11.0 to 11.3 and notice that the Nagios network monitor can no longer probe servers with self signed certs.It appears to be any monitor that used openssl 1.0.0 has an issue. If I install the openssl 0.9.8 libraries and use old plugins linked against it, they work fine.
I need to find a solution where I can monitor multiple sites at once and know when they go down. There are fraudulent sites (not mine I am in the infosec industry)
I have been playing with Nagios and Zabbix all day with not much luck. I have managed to get both installed and running and researched for hours. I just need to figure out how to add domain names to be monitored and I am stuck. I know you have to do it in the conf files but I cannot get a domain to show up?
I have installed latest Nagios and Nagios plugins. Nagios is working properly, but when I go to the browser n write the www.server-name.com/nagios, it gives Not Found The requested URL /nagios/ was not found on this server. How can I tell Apache to open Nagios on adding /nagios in my URL.
So we monitor all of our disk space, but only get pages for critical. What we would like to do is have one email sent to our team every month with all the "Warnings" for our disk. I have been searching and haven't found a way to do this. Any suggestions?
I need to check with nagios an oracle database that is located on a server. There are a lot of plugins that are provided, the problem is that the database is located on a remote server (i have an hostaddress) and then i need to log on the database (i have username and pass)So i only need to have a plugin that connects to that hostaddress and logs on, but i can't find any plugin which does that

Some third-party programs like matlab provide install scripts or binaries which don't have an uninstall option. So uninstalling these programs is a real pain, since I have to track down each of the hundreds of files scattered across my filesystem. Is there some way to monitor the filesystem changes made by these installers? For shellcripts I can in principle examine the script
