Hi !

Can somebody give me an hint or description,
how the pluggin xynagios is to use ?

Helper software:

  * xynagios: adaptor for running Nagios plugins with Xymon


I've found it in the debian-packes
http://packages.debian.org/de/sid/hobbit-plugins

And is there a version for RHEL or is that equal ?

Thanks & Cheers

Hi all.

It might look a dumy question. But is there any smart way to monitor port
connection from agent machine to some other server (can from that machine
connect to other machine using certain port)? I know it can be done using
netstat or telnet, but I am not good at that, so any help is welcome

P.S. servers is on UNIX OS (Solaris)

man hobbit-clients.cfg, see PORTS section.

If you need more assistance, you need to provide more details on what you are 
actually trying to monitor.

Hi Martin,

I just took a quick peek into the file and it is a perl script that says in the description:

<xynagios> runs a Nagios check, and reports its output in a way compatible
with the Xymon (Hobbit, BB) monitoring system.

The Xymon test name is taken from the plugin output if it starts with
test_name <OK|WARNING|CRITICAL|ERROR|UNKNOWN>. Otherwise, the basename
of the plugin filename is used. A check prefix is removed for brevity. 

So it seems you can run Nagios tests in XYmon with this script.

And since this is a perl script you might only need some additional modules that can be found in the Debian package libsysadm-install-perl and maybe there is a similar package for Red Hat too.

I tested and works great.
Xynagios is a very good script, thanks a lot to the developer Christoph
Berg.
There are others plugins on the package.
In my opinion this is excelent! Should be available at
http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php  too.

Regards,

Mario.

Hi !

Unfortunatley i've haven't get  xynagios to run .. :-(

* xynagios: adaptor for running Nagios plugins with Xymon
Is it possible to get an simple example for "How to use it" ... ?

.. thinking, it could be very helpful
to adapt the big repository of nagios-pluggins, couldn't it ?

thanks & cheers
