Hi Sue, No experience with Nagios bit an alternative package you could use
is Big Brother. It is pretty easy to install
and then you can monitor anything you want. There is a bit of scripting
required but nothing too serious. You can
find it at http://bb4.com

Is anyone using nagios to monitor their servers. I asked for the
Performance toolbox to monitor our servers and was told it's too expensive,
either I had to find freeware or write my own. Being cowardly I've found
Nagios which is running fine on the monitoring host but I can't get the
nrpe
daemon to compile on an AIX box. I would really appreciate any help anyone
can give me

I've tried installing nrpe several times, every time being able to reduce
the errors a bit but I'm left with one I can't get rid of:

cd ./src/; make ; cd ..
        gcc -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include/openssl -I/usr/local/include
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o nrpe nrpe.c utils.c -L/usr/local/lib -lssl -lcrypto
-lnsl

nrpe.c: In function 'main':
nrpe.c:198:warning:assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .get_dh512
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more
information.
collect2: ld returned 8 exit status
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1
Stop
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2
Stop

Many Thanks
