[Solved] Nagios - $U - what kind of service

[Anon Anon]

Hello
I am interested in supervising the batch DollarUniverse under Nagios.
After the setup of the mib and scripts and dll orsyp, the alerts are present through a "trap receiver."
I wonder what kind of service can be set up in Nagios to use these alerts?
Thanks in advance for your response

Hello,

It depends on your monitoring needs. Some customers use Nagios to receive traps and depending on the status they will be able to send SMS or mails.
The interest will be in centralizing all the traps of a company, not necessary those from Dollar Universe, in order to have only one tool of monitoring.

[url="http://www.nagiosexchange.org/"]http://www.nagiosexchange.org/[/url] is a good repository for checks plugins.
At work we use Nagios to monitor $Universe (windows) services but we use another software for alerting.

Nota : on the website you'll see some of my various nagios plugins for Oracle, VMware and Windows /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Hi,

From what I can understand of nagios - I'm not an expert of this product - to supervise the status of a failing Dollar Universe batch jobs under Nagios, it looks like you'll be using passive checks.

Asynchronous services like SNMP traps and security alerts lend themselves to being monitored passively.

So you can trigger a kind of "alarm" from Dollar Universe (using its command mode, the post uproc for example, etc.) and write the results of the check to the external command file.

Nagios reads the external command file on a regular basis and places the results of all passive checks into a queue for later processing.

Nagios will periodically execute a check result reaper event and scan the check result queue. Each service check result found in the queue is processed and Nagios may send out notifications, log alerts, etc. depending on the check result information.

Hope this helps,

Michel

Hi Michel,

FYI we did it synchronously, using the generic supervision . To be more specific it was Groundwork Monitoring (GWM) which is based on Nagios technology. There is a way in Nagios (at least in GWM) to send an alert to the server from any remote server.

hope it helps!
