You can download these plug-ins from the Nagios plug-ins package from

www.blackbox.com

You can also download and run

bash

scripts (primarily

check_log.sh).



To configure additional checks, save the downloaded plug-in program in the tftp

addins

directory on the USB flash and save the downloaded text plug-in file in

/etc/config



To enable these new additional checks, select

Seria l& Network: Network Port

, then

Edit

the

Network Host you want to monitor, and select

New Checks

. The additional check option is

included in the updated

Nagios

Checks

list, and you can again customize the arguments.

10.4.4 Number of supported devices

Ultimately the number of devices that by any particular

console server

can support depends upon the

number of checks made, and how often they are performed. Access method will also play a part. The
table below shows the performance of three of the

console servers
