SSH NMON

SSH NMON Profile

This profile monitors several statistics collected by NMON on monitored servers.

Services Configuration

SERVICE - Definitions in Monarch are stored under this name.
COMMAND LINE - Service command name with arguments to be passed to the plugin.

PLUGIN COMMAND LINE - Plugin script called by Nagios for this Service.

Command lines displayed below are intended to be single line commands.

Profile Package

This package includes the following files:

Profile Definitions

service-profile-ssh-nmon.xml
perfconfig-ssh-nmon.xml

Plugins on the GroundWork Server

check_nmon_totals.pl

Event Handlers

start_nmon.pl
writenmonrrd.pl

Installation

GroundWork Monitor includes many monitoring profiles for a variety of devices, systems and applications. Profiles already imported on a new GroundWork installation include Service Ping, SNMP Network, and SSH UNIX. The GroundWork Monitor Configuration tool is used to import updated Profiles and Profiles that require additional setup; the Profile XML file and its companion Performance Configuration definition file. Services can also be imported in addition to Service Profiles in the Profile Importer. The import process is documented under GROUNDWORK PROFILES > How to import profiles.

The special event handler writenmonrrd.pl must be installed in the Nagios eventhandler directory. This eventhandler is needed to processes NMON version 11f information for inclusion in performance graphs. check_nmon_totals.pl depends on the proper functioning of nmon running in Data-Collect-Mode. start_nmon.pl is used to start the nmon daemon.

See Implementation Notes below.

Implementation

This section contains detail settings used by this Profile. These parameters can be altered with the Configuration tool.
