Hello, compliment of the website and the documentation provided, I’d like to ask the following questions that I could not find an answer;
Assuming that I manage a lab of 20 computers with 2 switches, Ichose to to use an NMS to help me in this .
But I doubt arose:
Through a Nms able to have control of every PC? That is to enable, disable services and verify any of these problems?
For now I’m trying the solution in labaratorio Nagios although I must say no risultato.L 'installation, I made quite easily from reposotory, eh I have not had big problems.
As for the operation are not well advanced. I do not have scanned the network, the machines present.
In addition to my other posts do not appear to me … why? I should not do autodiscovery automatically makes me like OpenNMS?
using the install from source helps a lot to have a common filstructure for trouble shooting.
No, nagios is amonitoring and aletrting system, it hasn’t been created to manage services, even if it can partially be done, but i think there are better suited tools.
i don’t think so… nagios can help you identify a problem, if you install nagiosgraph or something similar like cacti you can even idenitfiy the source of the problem but i wouldn’t go as far as saying nagios can shut the pc off the network… that would require a bit of scripting capabilities to identify th eport to which the PC is conencted and fire another script to shutdown the network port on the switch…
