How to monitor cpu utilisation

[imranbb]

Hi,

i need to monitor the cpu utilisation and disk usage of remote servers running linuz/solaris/windows

i have figured out the windows part i.e. using the nsclient
but how do i configure the monitoring of cpu and filesystem of the linux and solaris servers.

appreciate it very much

99.95% of my checks are now passive checks. I install a mini naigos setup on the remote 'nix type systems and they report back the data via nsca. Use check_load and check_disk on the remote 'nix system's. You could also schedule a cronjob to run a script, if you dont want to setup nagios on the remote sites.

you can get a free gcc at sunsolve.com I think. There are also the free gcc included on the cd roms.
