Sue,
I would strongly suggest taking a look at NMON.

Subject: Re: Nagios and NRPE
I went back to version 1.8 and that went in OK, I think it's likely to
have
been due to openssl. That seems to be the main difference between v.1
and
v.2. This all came about when I was away and one of the machines got a
little cranky, cpu at 100% and everyone running around like Chicken
Licken.
I was told to investigate Performance Toolbox, when I was given the
costs my
managers decided that was far too high. So here I am, trying to see if
anything else can do the job for nothing!
It's more really so that if I'm not around someone else can check that
nothing truly terrible is happening and if it does they can call me no
matter wherever I am or whatever I'm doing. I'm really looking at disk
space and CPU usage but I don't suppose I'll really get what I'm after
from
anything other than the performance toolbox.
Thanks

i've used nagios and nrpe on aix boxes quite a bit. Never had any
trouble
getting nrpe to compile. you might look into nrpep, which is perl (thus
no
compile). One thing, though, is that nagios isn't really geared to
performance numbers, which is what performance toolbox does. It's
server
and service up/down status. what problem were you attempting to solve?
alerts, or performance monitoring?

Subject: Nagios and NRPE
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
