Console Server & RIM Gateway User Manual

10.3.2 Enable NRPE monitoring

Enabling NRPE allows you to execute plug-ins (such as

check_tcp

and

check_ping

) on the remote

Console server

to

monitor serial or network attached remote servers. This will offload CPU load from the upstream Nagios monitoring
machine which is especially valuable if you are monitoring hundreds or thousands of hosts. To enable NRPE:



Select

System: Nagios

and check

NRPE Enabled



Enter the details the user connection to the upstream Nagios monitoring server and again refer the sample Nagios
configuration example below for details of configuring specific NRPE checks

By default the

console server

will accept a connection between the upstream Nagios monitoring server and the NRPE

server with SSL encryption, without SSL, or tunneled through SSH. The security for the connection is configured at the
Nagios server.

10.3.3 Enable NSCA monitoring

NSCA is the mechanism that allows you to send passive check results from the remote

console server

to the Nagios

daemon running on the monitoring server. To enable NSCA:
