Services up/down

[cacontece]

hi...

is there any plugin to monitor the status of a service (like DNS, Web, email, ftp, DB server, etc..) ?

something like nagios/opennms do....

note: i wouldn't like use nagios+cacti... so, do I have another choice?

thanks,

cacti focusses primarily on reporting numbers in a time series, e.g. to do performance analysis. Nevertheless, using cigamits plugin architecture, there's a plugin called monitor that may help. Search Addons.

People often use both of them as nagios is excellent (at least I was told so) as a monitor solution whereas cacti is excellent in graphing/reporting. So you'll find some posts on combining the two. If the monitor plugin does not fulfill your requirements, I suppose the combination of both tools would be better

I have a script and graph template floating around the forums somewhere that allow you to select any service listed on a machine, and graph its status (up/down) you can then set a threshold to alert you if the service goes down... just do a search and it should turn up.

Yep, that would be it!

But this is just for windows services...

Imagine I would like like to monitor the status of a webserver (port 80, 8080, etc), ftp/ssh server, dns server, mysql, samba, etc...

How I could do this and how I could discover the services on a server?

Tks,

When I try to import the template cacti_data_query_win_services.xml from the Services.zip I get an error saying: Error: XML: Hash version does not exist.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

Are you running the minimum version of Cacti required? Every time a post has been made in regards to this error, that was the issue (Cacti version usually being older than the one used to create the templates).

I'have tryed on my W2K3/Cacit 0.8.6h and it doesn't works
